"These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume." -Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare's immortal story of young love and rebellion comes to visceral, thrilling life in this brilliant new version by Greg Banks. Take to the streets as Romeo and Juliet's new found love ignites the passion and rage of all Verona. There you will be swept away by sword fights, mystified at a masquerade ball, and witness to fiery lover's trysts.

"Banks has not set his Romeo and Juliet in a dainty, pastoral Verona. Instead, he has placed Shakespeare's tragedy about teenage passion and family feuds in a walled city that suggests Serbia. The warring Capulets and Montagues are not royals, but village big shots." - Star Tribune
