Romeo & Juliet performed by Nebraska Shakespeare at The Golden Husk

Nebraska Shakespeare is visiting Ord to share their performance of Romeo & Juliet. 

A school performance and workshops will be held on October 20 with a community performance on October 21 at 7:30 pm for the public to attend. 

"A community divided, wracked with fear and rocked by violence. Romeo desperately struggles to retain what is left of art, beauty, and love. Juliet, clinging to her family for protection and strength, has fallen victim to their blind hatred. In an attempt to find control over their own hearts, Juliet and Romeo discover that in this desolate wasteland, merely surviving is insufficient. Despite the ongoing civil destruction, it is the internal conflict between head and heart that holds this world hostage. Presented through a Brechtian theatrical lens, this Romeo and Juliet lays bare the means of production, transforming characters before the audience and stripping away the disguise of live performance. This world must change or be forever broken."
