Shakespeare’s tale of two star-crossed lovers comes alive in the unique setting of Arnos Vale. As an archaeologist guides you through the historic ruins of Verona, he shares the tale of the beautiful love story surrounding the statue of the famous beauty, Juliet. Suddenly the statue breathes with life, along with all the people in the tale.
Hate versus love, death versus life. Shakespeare’s enduring story remains as powerful as it was 400 years ago, and will remain so long into the future….. will we learn its lessons?
