“Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene…” So begins one of the most iconic and cherished pieces of dramatic literature in the history of western theatre. William Shakespeare’s masterpiece of “star-cross’d lovers” – who find love in each other’s arms despite their feuding families – has evoked profound emotional resonance with audiences for more than four centuries. The Tony-Award winning Utah Shakespeare Festival breathes effervescent life into this beloved classic. Come revel in the blind passion and sweet innocence of young love and mourn with the Capulets and Montagues over their foolish conflict that leads them inexorably to anguished tragedy. “For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
