Synopsis
Another Romeo and another Juliet in a strikingly different love story.
In this deeply moving re-working of Shakespeare’s text, an elderly Romeo and Juliet reminisce on their lives together, reveling in the joys of love while charting a course through the inevitable passage of time, aging, and the final stages of life.
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep, the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.” (soulpepper.ca)
