Shakespeare in the Park - Romeo and Juliet Education City Mini Oval, USQ Campus, Springfield. Thursday 7pm Friday 7pm Saturday 7pm

Penned over 400 years ago, Shakespeare's tale of two star-cross'd lovers is as popular today as it was with London audiences over four centuries ago.

The classic tale follows Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet; young lovers caught up in a bitter feud between two great Italian families.

The sparks of their innocent love set the vibrant city of Verona alight.

"My only love sprung from my only hate; too early unknown and known too late."

This is Shakespeare at his undeniable best. - Love, lust ... plots, potions ... twists and tragedy. $11 School Group >20
