A production from 2019, never before seen in Los Angeles, Matthew Bourne s Romeo and Juliet is a passionate and contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare s classic story of love and conflict. Set in the not-too-distant future in The Verona Institute and mysteriously confined against their will by a society that seeks to divide and crush their youthful spirits, our two young lovers must follow their hearts as they risk everything to be together.
