About this Event

The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: a cyberpunk story
The Ancient Grudge Continues to Destroy Their Future


Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Jonathan C. Dietrich

Even in the gritty, neon-drenched sprawl of the future, parents are still struggling to control their impulsive teenagers. Two star-crossed lovers, trapped between warring corporate dynasties, risk it all with the help of a Holy AI in their desperate bid to escape this dystopia.

Set against the backdrop of gray streets, flickering neon signs, and the hum of cybernetic implants, this high-voltage rendition of Romeo & Juliet will immerse you in a world where every choice is a glitch in the system, and every kiss could be their last.

Prepare for an adrenaline-charged experience as romance collides with rebellion in a flash of powered swords and fashion that screams punk anarchy.

With the Holy AI pulling strings from the shadows, the question isn’t just whether love will conquer all—it’s whether anyone can survive the coming storm.


Please note that online ticket sales are available up until 1 hour before the performance. Even then, there may still be walk-in tickets available, so please arrive before showtime!


The Friday November 29 performance is a designated COVID Cautious performance with extra precautions. Patrons will be required to wear a mask at all times while in the theatre, and asked to consume concessions outside. There is also a lower audience capacity for this performance to allow for distancing. There will be no alcohol sales on this evening.


Audience advisory: This performance contains flashing lights and images, violence in the form of intense swordplay and brawling, simulated gunfire, death (ribbon-style blood). There are also strong themes of emotional and domestic abuse, and character suicide.
