Shakespeare gets a mohawk in this raw and rebellious take on Romeo and Juliet. Set in a gritty, guitar-fueled world where love and rage collide, Flatwater’s punk rock adaptation brings Verona’s feuding families to life with thrashing energy, DIY grit, and heart-on-your-sleeve passion.
Don’t miss this explosive reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy — where young love burns fast, hard, and loud.
