Clowns turn literary canon upside down
A group of clowns decides to stage Shakespeare's famous Romeo & Juliet. Leaping into one of the world’s most well-known family feuds, the offbeat actors must tackle the challenges of old English along with scaling the heights of adolescent passion and plumbing the depths of young lovers’ despair. Yet as the strife between Capulets and Montagues deepens, the action starts to take unexpected comic turns. Will the jesters transform the tragic masterpiece into farce or vice versa?
An entertaining and intriguing performance that stays faithful to the stirring original and at the same time makes you laugh out loud.
