CloseMy only love sprung from my only hate…
Set on the turbulent streets of 1950s New York, rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks scrap for survival and reputation. Testosterone fueled bouts of violence plague the city, as the stage is set for one final catastrophic act to settle it once and for all.
Parallel to this, a story unfolds of first love and the journey into adulthood; Tony, the founder of the Jets is preparing to turn his back on his childhood gang when his heart is captured by Maria. Young, fresh-faced and naive she is undeniably a Shark, and the lovers are dragged back into the fray as they attempt to end the fighting.
This musical reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a beautiful, tragic and heartbreaking tale of youth, rebellion, anger and love.
