Romeo and Juliet

A showdown awaits this summer as the Globe Theatre transforms into the dangerous world of the Wild West for a new production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

An ancient grudge between two sworn enemies erupts in bloodshed when their son and daughter fall in love.

Saloon brawls and frenzied parties give way to brutal gunfights and violent retribution as a town divided faces its final frontier.

Rough justice stakes a claim on the optimism and vitality of youth in Shakespeare’s shocking tragedy, directed by Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes (Much Ado About Nothing, 2024; The Comedy of Errors, 2023-24).
