CHICAGO—In Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” two teens fall in love, but the play’s main question is whether their love can survive the blood feud that has turned their families, the Capulets and Montagues, into enemies. It’s now being presented in a venue that makes it available to everyone. That’s because it’s being presented in a wonderful production that’s playing for free in Chicago’s parks.
Widely considered the greatest love story of all time, William Shakespeare’s tragedy has captivated audiences and artists for centuries and inspired scores of films, ballets, operas, novels and the iconic Broadway musical “West Side Story.” It’s as relevant today as it was centuries ago.
