The world’s most enduring love story, Romeo and Juliet, is a masterpiece of lyric poetry. The story of star-crossed lovers, whose struggle for love and happiness in spite of familial opposition ends in senseless death, has been called the greatest work of romantic literature ever written. British director Rachel Kavanaugh, who makes her Shakespeare Theatre debut, directed critically-acclaimed productions of Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park in London and Alice in Wonderland for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
