A rose by another name: Juliet and Romeo

Romeo and Love have been a pretty dysfunctional team for a long time. Rosaline… well that didn’t go so well. Maybe Juliet will finally be the one, if Love can exercise some self-control and rein in her penchant for chaos. But desire and egotism are dangerous bedfellows: Juliet struggles desperately amid powerful currents of coercion and manipulation. A noble passion to heal age-old rifts? Perhaps not.

Marginalia, a new interdisciplinary performance collective, irreverently combine Shakespeare's timeless words with intoxicating melodies from Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi. A newly devised and fully staged fusion of theatre and opera, bringing you star-crossed lovers as never before.
