“The youth are fucked. Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way.”
Rehearsals started on monday 12th August. About this production, director Sam Gold said:
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be starting today with this brilliant ensemble. In the play, there are two households, but for us in the room, it really feels like one family.”
The play will be directed by Sam Gold, with music by multiple-Grammy Winning songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff and movement by Sonya Tayeh, the Tony-winning choreographer of Moulin Rouge.
