Romeo & Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is among Shakespeare’s most popular plays because it is the most famous love tragedy ever written. The Will Power 2: The Vortex Theatre’s 2011 Summer Shakespeare Festival production will have a special appeal because of its setting: a post-apocalyptic world where the troubles of love are echoed by a civilization in violent collapse. Think Terminator Salvation and The Book of Eli but with Shakespeare’s gorgeous verse and the passions of young love.
