Story

Sheepdog Theatre’s Romeo & Juliet transports Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy to the vibrant, yet volatile world of 1860s Japan, where the clash between East and West creates a backdrop of tension and transformation.

In the rapidly changing city of Yokohama, Romeo, a foreigner, and Juliet, a Japanese girl bound by tradition, find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. Their relationship unfolds amidst a society grappling with the collision of old and new with the young lovers determined to defy the odds and be together.

This production delves deep into the challenges of cultural integration and the personal cost of crossing societal boundaries, offering a fresh perspective on a timeless tale. Sheepdog Theatre’s Romeo & Juliet not only captures the tragedy of forbidden love but also speaks to the enduring complexities of identity, tradition, and change.
