The Play
In the summer heat of Verona, passion and violence are in the air – and the age-old feud between the Montagues and the Capulets is close to boiling point. But when young Romeo and Juliet meet at a ball, they instantly fall in love. Anticipating the rage of their warring families, the pair defy their elders and marry in secret. But when Juliet’s cousin Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel, it sets off a chain of events that can only end in tragedy.
