Theatre In St. James Park Presents - The Tragedie of Romeo and Julie

Friday, 1 August 2025 - Written by William Shakespeare, and directed by Nicholas Koy Santillo witness four actors, two households, and one absolute banger. What was Shakespeare before stage lights, microphones and the Fourth Wall? Before he was revered and canonized, Shakespeare's plays were raucous, irreverent and relevant. When first staged in 1596, Romeo and Juliet referenced contemporary politics and the eternal human condition. This summer, whether you're in Verona or Toronto, one thing is certain - the day is hot, the Capulets abroad. - 120 King St E, Toronto, ON M5C 1G6, Canada - Event Details
