Shakespeare’s most popular play has seemingly been played every which way, but never like this—a Kiwi rock opera that sets the Bard’s timeless words to modern pop, rock, and hip hop and transfers the feuding Montagues and Capulets from Renaissance Verona to a seaside trailer park.

Carmen: A Hip Hopera in Tim Van Dammen’s radical reimagining of the fearful passage of Romeo and Juliet’s death-mark’d love. It’s Shakespeare as you’ve never heard him before.
