Romeo und Julia

In the organizer's words:

"[...] the [audience] didn't want to stop showering the ensemble with enthusiastic applause"

"Von Henning does not allow himself and his ensemble any fashionable gimmicks, but delivers a coherent story that avoids reducing it to perhaps the most famous tragic love story in literary history and even draws a pacifist message from the feud between the two Veronese families without it seeming embarrassing or flat."

(Carsten Beckmann, Oberhessische Presse)

"It's worth going to the performance, even if you don't know anything about Shakespeare. The production is full of wit, great acting and a lot of loving attention to detail. And after all, it's never too late to follow the Bard on his unfathomable paths."

(Laura Schiller, PhilippMagazin)

ROMEO AND JULIA by William Shakespeare is one of the most famous and popular love stories in world literature. Two young people fall in love with each other in Verona. An exciting time begins.

Everything could be beautiful, but it is the opposite. Their love is doomed to fail from the very first moment because their families, the Capulets and the Montagues, fight each other and are resentful of this new love. Can love overcome any obstacle? Can love be greater than hate?

Despite their strong will to love and build bridges, they despair and disaster strikes. But does the latter have to have the last word?

ROMEO AND JULIA by Shakespeare was written in 1597 and has since been interpreted countless times, both on the theater stage and in films. ROMEO AND JULIA, based on Shakespeare, is about RESISTANCE & LOVE. It is an evening full of emotion and music.

For everyone aged 13 and over who is interested in strong love stories, resistance and the power of music.
