“Lord, what fools these mortals be!”

Fall under the spell of Shakespeare's magical tale of midsummer
madness. It is a wild night for lovers as an adventure in an enchanted
forest leads to mischievous fairies playing tricks and a troupe of
bumbling actors. Love, magic and mischief fill the forest as
fantastical dreams blur with reality.

   ROMEO & JULIET

   “Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say ‘Good night” till it be morrow.”

   The greatest love story ever told, Shakespeare's powerful masterwork of
   exhilarating love and loss will capture your imagination and leave you
   breathless. Two star-crossed lovers are swept up by the hatred of their
   warring families, and they dare to believe their love is strong enough to
   overcome the violence around them.
