Shakespeare\u2019s quintessential story of young love in a world of violence and generational conflict is timeless in its relevance to the emotional and social concerns of young people. The most direct of Shakespeare\u2019s plays in its emotional impact, <em>Romeo &amp; Juliet<\/em> tells the story of two adolescents finding in their sudden love for each other a reason to defy their families\u2019 mutual hatred by marrying secretly. The tragic outcome of their love results from Tybalt\u2019s hotheaded refusal to obey the Prince\u2019s command and from accidents of timing beyond any human ability to foresee or control. Simple in its storyline and clear in its affirmation of the power of love, <em>Romeo &amp; Juliet <\/em>provides both a timeless theme and universal appeal. Though we pity the tragic fate of Shakespeare\u2019s star-crossed lovers, we admire their courage in the face of adversity and their unwavering belief in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come out to support our young performers and show your support for the Arts at Emmaus High School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Emmaus High School Theater Department will present Romeo &amp; Juliet by William Shakespeare on November 5, 6, and 7 at 7:00 PM in the Emmaus High School Auditorium.
