What better way to teach Shakespeare's masterpiece than to have your students watch it live on stage? Classical Theatre Project of Toronto shatters preconceptions about the dryness of Shakespearean text by infusing their Romeo and Juliet with a youthful electricity that has engaged the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of students across North America. Set traditionally in a 16th century Elizabethan marketplace and wholly embracing the Bard’s vibrant language, this production injects this tale of star-crossed lovers with the passion and adrenaline of a rock concert, except with much better enunciation!
