Romeo and Juliet

The Media Theatre
104 E. State Street Media

Stars cross, swords clash and hearts break in the greatest love story the world has ever known. Arguably the most famous play ever written, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is the truly timeless tale of two young lovers, kept apart by their feuding families, whose romance ends in unthinkable tragedy. This powerful new production stars Lexi Gwynn, who won a 2015 Broadway World Award for The Miracle Worker, and Brandon O'Rourke, who received acclaim for his role in Peter and the Starcatcher at the Walnut Street Theatre. A perfect story for the Valentine's season, Romeo and Juliet has been made and remade into countless works of art over the last four centuries, from ballets and operas (47 of them at last count) to major film releases and even a legendary musical (West Side Story) -- all a testament to Shakespeare's brilliant storytelling. Experience the original at Philadelphia's Media Theatre.
