Romeo und Julia (Programme 2019)

On the occasion of its 20^th anniversary, the Poetenpack Theater will bring "Romeo and Juliet", the most famous and popular tragedy of literary world, to the stage. Shortly after the premiere in Potsdam, Andreas Hueck’s staging will find its way into the Globe Neuss, where, two years ago, the group caused a commotion with Woody Allen's "Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy". The language in Shakespeare's masterpiece alternates between crude everyday prose and the immensely lyrical poetry of the lovers. The theme of tragic love, characterised by outward hostility and apparent irreconcilabilities, seems as relevant today as it did 400 years ago.
