Short Shakespeare! Romeo and Juliet

Short Shakespeare! Romeo and Juliet

Chicago Shakespeare Theater
800 East Grand Avenue Chicago

Verona burns under summer's heat-and the hatred of two families. The Prince decrees: if Montague or Capulet again disrupts the peace, lives will answer to the law. Violence stains Verona's streets. Against this horror, Shakespeare sets Romeo and Juliet, a tale of true love found-and tragically lost-within an endless cycle of hate. This 75-minute adaptation, told in Shakespeare's own words, speaks to today's youth about their own lives. After the performance, audiences are welcome to join the cast for a post-show discussion.
