Romeo & Juliet
Aug 26 - Sept 12
The Amphitheatre Roma Street Parklands
QLD Shakespeare Ensemble

This August, the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble launches its 20th Birthday celebrations with a Spring season of Romeo & Juliet.

In a city torn apart by warring families, two young people push back against the expectations surrounding them. Juliet refuses to allow her life and sexuality to be traded for security, while Romeo distances himself from the boys club mentality in which he was raised. In their greatest act of defiance, the two teenagers find unexpected love. But, is youthful love enough to mend ancient rifts?

Marking the ensemble’s return to the beautiful Roma Street Parkland, Romeo & Juliet promises to deliver the clarity, joy, and live music that QSE has become known for over the last 20 years.
