Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
 
The Montagues and the Capulets have a long-standing feud
which regularly leads to outbreaks of street violence in Verona.
When Romeo (a Montague) and Juliet (a Capulet) fall in love,
their feelings are so strong that they ignore their families’ rivalry
and marry secretly.
But then Tybalt (Capulet) kills Romeo’s best friend Mercutio, and
Romeo in an outburst of rage takes revenge by killing Tybalt.
After only one day of marriage, Romeo is banished from Verona
and may never see Juliet again.
When Juliet’s father (knowing nothing of her relationship with
Romeo) tries to force her into an arranged marriage, Juliet
grasps desperate measures…
 
White Horse Theatre’s abridgement is packed with emotion
and action, with poetry and humour, with hate...and with love.
