SWEET SORROW®, A ZOMBIE BALLET
Presented by LPBC since 2017, “Sweet Sorrow, A Zombie Ballet,” was created by Artistic Director Leigh Purtill for those who have a dark romantic soul and an intense desire to experience the underworld. It was inspired by a novel Leigh wrote as a sequel to Shakespeare's “Romeo & Juliet.”
Sweet Sorrow, A Zombie Ballet, will take you back to the funeral of Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers, and tell you the rest of the story. You’ll follow Juliet’s cousin Rosaline through the underworld, as she encounters lost souls, spiders, zombies, werewolves, and a mighty Raven Queen, in her quest to bring back her dear cousin and perhaps also a part of herself she never knew. Experience the darkness, the magic, the madness, and the romance of Sweet Sorrow, A Zombie Ballet!

‘Sweet Sorrow’ is hypnotic and captivating. The kind of scary that I love. I was smiling the whole time.
