MU Theatre Department to Host Romeo & Juliet

by William Shakespeare
directed by Kevin Brown

“Never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo.” A beautifully tragic tale of love at first sight, Romeo and Juliet secretly wed despite the sworn contempt their families hold for each other. A chain of fateful events changes both families forever. Critic Roger Ebert said, “The love between Romeo and Juliet [is] of that naive and hopeless intensity only those in love for the very first time can comprehend.”
