Romeo and Juliet

A guest performance by the Bronski & Grünberg Theatre



Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are no longer quite so young, nor are they lovers. Both are nestlings in the comfortable homes of their wealthy parents. Romeo prefers to strum his lute all day long. Juliet sleeps during the day because she dances at balls at night. What is comfortable for the long-grown-up children is slowly becoming too much for the parents. Both families want their offspring to finally stand on their own two feet. Romeo and Juliet, who do not want to move out, hatch a cunning plan. But every good intrigue quickly gets out of control. While Romeo and Juliet have their hands full, something changes between them that surprises even them and catches their parents off guard. The families are also troubled by the authoritarian Duke, who severely punishes anyone who causes unrest. The Montagues and Capulets are drawn into the resistance movement, and suddenly there is much more at stake than the old, petty conflicts...



Kaja Dymnicki and Alexander Pschill had audiences on the edge of their seats with ‘Amadeus’ in the 24/25 season. Now, with their usual tremendous pace, they take a fresh look at Shakespeare's classic. ‘Great fun’ (Der Falter).
