Shakespeare has not taken the Nordonia Drama stage since the fall of 2019 when we presented Much Ado About Nothing. We cannot wait to tackle the bard once again this winter with easily one of his most famous works!!
An age-old vendetta between two powerful families erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father’s choice, the County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next day, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin, Tybalt, for which Romeo is banished. In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo, Juliet follows the Friar’s plot and fakes her own death. The message fails to reach Romeo, and believing Juliet dead, he takes his life in her tomb. Juliet wakes up to find Romeo’s corpse beside her and kills herself. The grieving families agree to end their feud. | ||
