The greatest playwright of all time and his play, called the most famous love story of all time.

Genre: tragedy.

Why is the most famous love story of all time a tragedy? Everything could be simple and beautiful: She loves him, he loves her, and they have their whole lives ahead of them. What more is there to deal with? The young lovers Juliet and Romeo are dragged by circumstances they did not cause. They are told they are not allowed to love each other, their love is forbidden. Their parents decided this, and almost everyone around them blindly accepts this “truth”. Young people are trapped in a world that their fathers built.

In a world that would rather sacrifice its children than retreat from its (long-outlived) certainties and admit its mistakes and errors. Shakespeare's plays are considered very timeless, and Romeo and Juliet is proof of this. The play presents us with a current picture of the times in which young people pay the highest price for the mistakes of those who will no longer have to bear the consequences of their actions in their future. Love as the highest form of revolt.

Shakespeare's tragedy at the Alfa Theatre will not be a boring classic, but a chillingly current story about how high a price young people pay for the mistakes of their ancestors.
