The Atlanta Shakespeare Company comes to the stage in an incredible abridged version of Shakespeare’s immortal romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet. This timeless tale of starcrossed lovers was one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime and remains so with today’s audiences as one of the most frequently performed of all the immortal bard’s works. It is a tragic story of sublime, but thwarted romance between two Italian youths from feuding families and remains one of the world’s most beloved works of theater.
