William Shakespeare's classic Romeo & Juliet is the most well-known love story of all time. This tale is not only entrenched in love, but in violence, comedy, and the struggle of family turmoil. In the epicenter of this storm of violence are two lovers: Romeo, the heir of the Montague household, and Juliet, the heir of the Capulet household. Their love, although forbidden, is raw, pure, and eternal, and a sharp contrast to the vicious tension their family holds against one another, culminating in their premature deaths. This story is a gripping, tear-your-heart-out, comedic-at-times, romantic tragedy that will leave you breathless.
"Gnit'"

Gnit is a modern adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt. Our story follows Peter Gnit, a compulsive liar who spends his life indulging in one fantasy after another, with a knack for embellishing his stories. He struggles when it comes to finding value in human connection. Peter is on the search for his “authentic self” and every awkwardly-hilarious interaction that could offer him some retrospection into his self-fulfilling nature seems to scare him back to square one. Gnit cuts deep with the questions “Is man truly the child of it’s childhood?” “Who deserves salvation and who gets scrapped?” It warns us that the opposite of love is laziness and selfishness, asking us how we live and love, consciously and subconsciously
