In this thrilling and accessible adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, multi–Dora Award–winning composer Landon Doak teams up with Bluebirds director Iain Moggach to bring Shakespeare’s most famous love story to life in a way you have never seen before.

With live music woven throughout and a focus on the heart of the story (two young people caught between loyalty and love) this production promises an intimate, emotional night at the theatre that’s perfect for long-time fans and first-time Shakespeare-goers alike.

Romeo & Juliet is a remount and update of a production originally staged at Old Flame Brewery in Port Perry 10 years ago and is now being adapted specifically for the Theatre on the Ridge tent.

In addition to the public performances, a limited number of school packages are also available in partnership with Scugog Shores Museum.
