Intimate passion and sweeping social forces infuse every breathtaking moment of Artistic Director Steven McMahon’s version of Shakespeare’s tragic love story. Set to the sublime score by Prokofiev, the exploration of external pressures influencing who we can love and the price we pay for following our hearts shows perfectly how the story of the star-crossed lovers endures still today. This audience favorite, which debuted in 2012 and was last performed in 2019, returns for the very first time on the GPAC stage.
