Shakespeare in the Vines - Romeo and Juliet - at Leura Park Estate, Geelong



If you like the idea of watching a Shakespeare play, set amongst the vines, then Leura Park Estate is the place to be for "Shakespeare in the Vines - Romeo and Juliet" on Friday 12th of February and Saturday 13th of February 2016.

Essential Theatre and Leura Park Estate present Shakespeare in the Vines. You're invited to sit back, sip on an award winning wine and relax as this tragic tale unfolds.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic tale of forbidden love set against the violence of warring families. It is one of Shakespeare's most popular stories. A violent street brawl between two rival families - the Montague's and the Capulet's - is the prelude to Romeo's first encounter with Juliet.

Despite the rivaling families and the fact that Juliet has been promised to another man in marriage, Romeo and Juliet fall in love. But any plans for their future happiness are cruelly destroyed by renewed violence between the two families.

With its wonderful combination of lyricism, comedy, suspense and drama, Shakespeare's heartbreaking tale is one of the greatest of all love stories.

At the end of the show, the cast will mingle with the guests and will be available to discuss the production.
