Romeo and Juliet – Illyria Outdoor Theatre
Tuesday 20th August 2024 – 7pm
The Montagues and the Capulets are at war.
Their feud has been long and bitter. But when Romeo, Montague’s son, gatecrashes Capulet’s party in disguise, everything changes. There he meets Juliet, Capulet’s daughter, and the pair fall into an intense, forbidden love that sets in motion a chain of events leading to a devastating conclusion. From a secret rendezvous to a fateful duel, Shakespeare masterfully explores the enduring power of love, revenge and fate. But the surprising thing about this iconic tale is that it’s extremely funny too!
A passionate, poetic and utterly gripping performance by Illyria in the great outdoors.
