"Romeo and Juliet" by the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts

Please be advised that this production includes profanity, depictions of violence and self harm, flashing lights and moments of loud sounds. Romeo & Juliet By William Shakespeare Reinterpreted and Directed by Søren Olsen From its chaotic, unorthodox opening brawl, Søren Olsen’s Romeo and Juliet delivers a bold, unapologetic reimagining that challenges the legacy of Shakespeare’s classic romance. Hot-mess celebrity parties, perilous make-outs, and passion-fueled duels collide in this director-designer’s vision of theatrical candy. Barreling forward at breakneck speed and interlaced with the iconic text, this highly physical production offers its own tragic answer to the question: Why do we keep letting love die?
