In the midst of an historical bitter feud, passionate young love emerges. Defying their parents, Romeo and Juliet marry and plot to run away together, only to be thwarted at every turn. This classic play is a swashbuckling drama and the greatest love story ever told.
 
Are you studying Shakespeare or Drama with your students?  Shakespeare can be difficult.  Nothing enhances comprehension of our language’s greatest playwright like a professional, student-oriented live performance.

Seattle Shakespeare Company has edited Romeo and Juliet down to its essential components while expertly preserving the timeless story and most beautiful passages.  They have been doing this important work, to great accolades, for 20 years.

A question-and-answer session will follow the performance.
