Romeo and Juliet

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Lauren Velasco

Violent delights have violent ends in the quintessential story of star-crossed love, Shakespeare’s ROMEO & JULIET. Two clans war in the streets of Verona in a feud that threatens not only the peace of the city but the stability of their families themselves. Yet when Romeo sneaks into a party in disguise, he meets Juliet, the daughter of his enemy, and the two fall in love at first sight. Fresh in emotion, the two want to marry, and are helped by a well-meaning friar with the hope of burying ancient grudges. Good intentions lead to grave consequences in a tragedy that prevails for the ages.

This production of ROMEO & JULIET at the Long Beach Playhouse is partially sponsored by the Port of Long Beach.
