“Don’t be fooled by the casual park setting, this is a professional production with top notch actors. […] Shakespeare-in-the-Park is truly a must see Montreal event during [the] summer”

Romeo & Juliet: Love is Love

Toured parks throughout Montreal, Quebec and Ontario from July 5th, 2018 until August 8th, 2018.

Come celebrate Repercussion Theatre’s 30th season of Shakespeare-in-the-Park with a contemporary, gender-bent take on a classic love story: Romeo & Juliet: Love is Love. In this tragic tale of young love and old grudges, we enter a world calcified by hate. As two young people gallop full speed towards love, they are broken by (and ultimately break down) the walls erected by the previous generation.  With a cast of 10 dynamic performers, an eye-catching design and live music, this show is not to be missed.
