The show is fantastic—brilliant! It’s the best show I’ve ever seen! The power of the lines, the expression, the tension, the costumes, the music, the engagement with the audience—everything was absolutely jaw-droppingly good! I never thought I would ever cry over Shakespeare, especially since Romeo and Juliet has never been my favorite. But this performance changed everything. I will definitely recommend it to all my family, friends, and students. I absolutely loved it!

Why watch Romeo and Juliet?
- Shakespeare's classic gets a bloody upgrade in this Western-themed play heading to Shakespeare's Globe in 2025.
- Star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet battle more than just guns in the Wild West as they find themselves on opposing sides of an ancient grudge.
- Swap brick roads and towers for saloons and cowboy hats in this inspired adaptation of a beloved tale.
No stranger to Shakespearean adaptations, the Globe has a history of offering a fresh take on classics. Its staging of Romeo and Juliet is no exception, bringing the widely beloved story of the star-crossed lovers to a Western setting, allowing for a much more dramatic, violent, and dynamic setting for the story.
Storyline
An ancient feud between Verona's most influential families, the Capulets and the Montagues, casts a looming shadow over the town, as everyone from the elites to their children and servants spew hate at one another in the streets. Across enemy lines, however, there exist two hearts that find themselves intertwining into one - will the star-crossed lovers make it to one another across a bloody battlefield, or will the cycle of bloodshed bring them to their early graves?
