Event Details
“Civil blood makes civil hands unclean.”
Set in a time of deadly civil division, Shakespeare’s masterful tragedy continues to hold up a heartbreaking mirror to our world. In a society ravaged by hate and violence, two young people unexpectedly find love. Their youthful passion shines a light of hope against the pernicious and poisonous enmity of their families. One of the most beautiful pieces of theatre ever written, it is a tale of opposites – love and hate; exuberant joy and deep sorrow; youth and age; brutal ugliness and poetic beauty; despair and hope. It is intimate and epic. It is about violence. It is about peace. It is a tale of caution that we must heed – now and always.
Directed by Artistic Director Emerita Bonnie J. Monte
