Putney Light Operatic Society to Perform West Side Story

---

Leonard Bernstein’s and Stephen Sondheim’s classic re-telling of Romeo & Juliet

Putney Light Operatic Society are to perform Leonard Bernstein’s and Stephen Sondheim’s West Side Story.

Set in the working-class Upper West Side neighbourhood of New York in the mid-1950s, it explores the violent rivalry between two street gangs: the Jets, white New Yorkers and the Sharks, Puerto Rican immigrants.

Tony, a former Jet and best friend of their leader Riff, falls in love with Maria, the younger sister of the Sharks’ leader, Bernardo. Prejudice and pride fuel a gritty violence which ultimately ends in tragedy.



You can catch performances from Tuesday 29 May through to Saturday 2 June with a matinee performance on the Saturday.

Tickets: £18/16 are available from www.plos.co.uk/box-office
