Between Verona and Upper Bavaria
Shakespeare's tragedy tells of a love that shines brightly amidst an old family conflict like a match in the dark. The KSE relocates this famous story to a summer atmosphere in Freising, transforming the cathedral city into the Verona of Upper Bavaria for several evenings. This is the charm of this production: intense emotions, clear images, immediate closeness to the audience. ([kse-theater.de](https://www.kse-theater.de/))
Direction, rhythm, and the present
Under the direction of Philipp Schreyer, a modern interpretation of the material is being created that sharpens rather than smooths the core of the tragedy. The production relies on youthful energy, dramatic intensification, and the pull of a story that has resonated with each generation for centuries. The special venue at Marienplatz 7 adds to the theater atmosphere in the open air, linking the summer stage experience with local roots.

Weather, entry, and reservation
The open-air stage remains the primary venue; in case of bad weather, the performance will move to the Asamsaal. Seats can be reserved, and reservations are valid until 19:15. This keeps the evening pleasantly manageable, even if summer clouds play along in Freising. ([kse-theater.de](https://www.kse-theater.de/))
Why attending is worthwhile
For those who love theater as a living presence, this is more than a classic: a dense play of closeness, language, conflict, and emotion. The ensemble focuses on a free performance culture, open accessibility, and the power of a material that continues to challenge both audience and acting. An evening for everyone seeking great literature as an immediate live experience. ([freising.de](https://www.freising.de/kultur-freizeit/kulturprogramm/asam))
