Shakespeare’s great love story.

You won’t want to miss this production of William Shakespeare’s most well-known play from Hartford Stage Artistic Director, Melia Bensussen (The Winter’s Tale, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, All My Sons, Simona’s Search). The tragic love story that has inspired countless movies, musicals, and modern adaptations gets back to its roots in this lush and energetic production.

An intoxicating blend of tragedy and hope, the spark of young love is ignited in Romeo and Juliet. They believe that their love will protect them, but ultimately rivalry, familial duty, and impossible choices doom their future together.
