Globe Ensemble Berlin: Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare (original version)

The Globe Ensemble Berlin brings Shakespeare's most frequently performed tragedy to the stage in the best people’s theatre tradition: the most famous love story is told through richness of language and live music, with masquerade and fight scenes. A young love full of passion and fire meets old hatred of two rival families. The themes of young love, old hatred, rivalry, passion, fear of loss, power and powerlessness, willingness to take risks, civil courage and ultimately the question of the meaning of human existence in the face of death run through a web of unfortunate coincidences. Only in the death of the two lovers does the hatred, which has almost become a tradition, come to an end and Romeo & Juliet become martyrs in a senseless war.
