ABOUT THE PLAY
In 1990s America, amidst the grunge music scene and coffee culture, two rival families—the tech-savvy Montagues and the music-oriented Capulets—find themselves in conflict. Romeo Montague, a sensitive punk enthusiast, meets Juliet Capulet, an aspiring musician, at an underground party. Their instant connection blossoms despite family rivalries, leading to a complicated secret romance fraught with social pressures and familial expectations. As miscommunication and impulsive decisions escalate, their love story takes a tragic turn, reflecting the era's emotional turbulence. This adaptation of Shakespeare's tale explores themes of love, identity, and societal conflict, culminating in a heart-wrenching conclusion that impacts their community.
