Middle School Play Wednesday 25 May 2016, 7.00pm Middle School Play 2016 Middle School Play 2016 Middle School presents Romeo and Juliet Arguably the most famous love story in English Literature, Romeo and Juliet tells the tragic tale of love in its most passionate, violent and overpowering state. It examines how this powerful emotion drives the young lovers to defy their entire social world. By giving us a thorough examination of a character’s fatal flaw, and the inevitable catastrophe that ensues, tragedy, as a genre, is meant to inform audiences about human existence. The sense of catharsis we obtain from watching tragedies on stage helps to ensure that we emerge from the theatre more grounded and aware of others and our surroundings. Our production is a fast-paced, modern retelling of the classic love story. Shakespeare’s tale of two star-crossed lovers and their feuding families is an unflinching exploration of how love runs, and can ruin, our lives. Love, paradoxically, consumes us, confuses us and yet ultimately confirms for us exactly what it means to be alive. Love dares you. When: 25, 27 and 28 May 2016 at 7.00pm; 26 May 2016 at 6.00pm Where: TC Woolhouse Theatre Click here to book tickets.
