Event Host: Department of Theatre
Short Description: Written early in his career, Romeo and Juliet was one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime and today continues to be one of his more performed works. With its central unifying theme of young love, Shakespeare created an enduring archetype, and his star-crossed lovers will grace the Roy Bowen Theatre in Fall 2016.
... these hot days is the mad blood stirring...A festering hatred between feuding families breaks out into violence. Love at first sight, urgent and impetuous, crosses the dividing line between the families. Can anything stop it all from tumbling forward toward tragedy?
