Free Shakespeare in the Park's ROMEO AND JULIET Free Shakespeare in the Park's ROMEO AND JULIET

Free Shakespeare in the Park

Romeo and Juliet

May 22, 2026 - June 28, 2026

Venue The Revitalized Delacorte Theater

By William Shakespeare  
Directed by Saheem Ali

The Public’s Associate Artistic Director/Resident Director Saheem Ali brings Shakespeare’s legendary star-crossed lovers to Central Park. Never was there a story of more woe, or romance, than the Bard’s tale of two lovers from warring families. In rapture at first sight, Romeo and Juliet defy their families’ bitter hatred and the bloodshed on the streets of Verona, determined to consecrate their passion with a secret marriage. Don’t miss this ravishing new production, essential viewing for any lover of Shakespeare, theater, and love itself. 

Free Shakespeare in the Park is part of The Public’s annual summer celebration of Shakespeare for the City. Free. For All. Forever.
