About
The Public Theater brings Shakespeare's most famous tragedy to the Delacorte Theater in New York's Central Park this summer, running May 22 through June 28, 2026. This traditional production explores how two teenagers from warring families become caught between their sudden love and the destructive forces surrounding them. The play examines desire, fate, and a world whose violence proves incompatible with their passion.
