A message from the director
Director Toma Enache says:
“Through this play, Shakespeare was speaking to us as far back as 1594–1595 about love — the very love we still need today to end the long-standing hatred between feuding families.
Romeo and Juliet is an exercise in softening hearts:
the hearts of those who have loved,
those who love,
and those who are waiting to love.”
