7A Series: Verona Falls by Nadel Henville
Footlight Club's 7A Series presents the Boston premiere of Verona Falls!
What if Romeo & Juliet never died for each other?
Fresh off its run Off-Broadway in NYC as part of a [Shakespeare themed] festival, Verona Falls tells the story of Romeo and Juliet ten years after the events of the original Shakespeare play, with some twists and turns!
As old loves reignite and political intrigues unfold, the characters must confront the consequences of their past choices and decide where their loyalties truly lie. This gripping drama explores themes of lost love, the price of peace, and the difficulty of escaping one's past in a city still haunted by old grudges.
Spend an hour watching our five incredibly skilled, devoted, and dynamic actors put on a performance you'll never forget!
