My only love, sprung from my only hate!

Shakespeare’s iconic romantic tragedy of innocent young lovers falling victim to family hatred and cruel destiny... swords clash, everlasting love is promised and a treacherous sleeping potion is swallowed in the greatest love story of all time. Young love has never been so delightful or as dangerous as in this stirring new production.

Evoking the lyricism of Shakespeare’s sonnets, Romeo and Juliet exquisitely embodies the brief joy of youthful passion and ecstasy. Timeless and deeply moving, they love each other passionately as only teenagers can while their families’ mutual disdain and prejudice lead to revenge and an irreversible fate. Directed by Penny Metropulos from Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Chance and accident are center stage. Order is restored but at what price...
