Shakespeare states in the opening 12 lines of this play that it is an explosive swash-buckling romance with a thrilling storyline and a tragic ending. What he doesn't say is how funny it's going to be! Two powerful Verona families, the Montagues and the\u00a0Capulets, are at war with one another - but when Montague's son falls in love with Capulet's daughter at a party, a chain-reaction of events is set in motion which has a devastating conclusion.<\/p>
Illyria last performed this terrific play 10 years ago; the production was Critic's Choice in Edinburgh, attracted 5-star reviews in Canada and received a nomination for Best of Fringe in Vancouver. This year's production promises to mine the humour so often overlooked, and to dazzle you with swordplay.<\/p>
This is an outdoor performance - please dress accordingly (sun cream and thermals!).<\/p>
