The show: 

A family feud divides the community!  Violence stalks the streets.
Who can see beyond the hate and dare to follow their heart?
A pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet!

Oddsocks return with their new take on this well-loved classic, finding laughs and pathos in the most dramatic of tragedies.

Will Romeo pull himself together to escape with Juliet?
Will the Nurse think of a better plan than the Friar?
Will the audience help the lovers elope?

All will be revealed as Oddsocks create uplifting comedy from the depths of despair in a show that’s the perfect antidote to prejudice.
