The Globe Ensemble Berlin brings Shakespeare's most frequently performed tragedy to the stage in the best people’s theatre tradition: the most famous love story is told through richness of language and live music, with masquerade and fight scenes. A young love full of passion and fire meets old hatred of two rival families. The themes of young love, old hatred, rivalry, passion, fear of loss, power and powerlessness, willingness to take risks, civil courage and ultimately the question of the meaning of human existence in the face of death run through a web of unfortunate coincidences. Only in the death of the two lovers does the hatred, which has almost become a tradition, come to an end and Romeo & Juliet become martyrs in a senseless war.

Featuring Adrian Stowasser, Astrid Köhler, Benjamin Krüger, Henning Bormann, Lukas Bredefeld, Nadja Schimonsky, Philipp Myk, Wiebke Acton

Globe Berlin summer season “Power & Powerlessness”
From June 20 to September 13, the Charlottenburg Globe Berlin will once again be the venue for genuine popular theater in a unique open-air setting. The current program includes plays by Shakespeare (German/English), Goethe and Schiller, as well as word art evenings and swing concerts. Until the reconstruction of the former Schwäbisch Hall circular theater building on Sömmeringstraße is possible, a ring-shaped catwalk made of wooden components of the future Globe will serve as an open-air stage. The audience sits in the middle of the action. Admission costs between 20 and 26 euros (concessions 16 to 21 euros). Tickets can be booked via www.globe.berlin, directly from Ticketmaster and via the usual advance booking offices (plus additional costs where applicable).
