Romeo & Juliet
Shakespeare's classic takes a decidedly contemporary twist as Georgia Shakespeare places the timeless drama in a modern high school setting. The Capulets and Montagues become archrival high schools making the drama and situations feel like they have been torn from the morning newspaper. Add in a contemporary urban score and some "in your face" stage combat, this presentation of Shakespeare's classic will resonate with students in a new and thrilling way.
