T1292512544A squirmingly funny and devastatingly dark 21st century alternative reality for Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers. Lost Dog's new show reveals the real story of Romeo and Juliet. It turns out they didn't die in a tragic misunderstanding, they grew up and lived happily ever after. Well, they lived at least. Now they are 40ish, at least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis, they feel constantly mocked by their teenage selves and haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love. They have decided to confront their current struggles by putting on a performance - about themselves. Their therapist told them it was a terrible idea.Company Lost Dog. Director Ben Duke.

But he touched me when he touched me; and I was touched' Juliet is a gossip-columnist in a war torn city. Romeo lives in the old part of town and carries a bomb for comfort. They meet with a bang! Set in a mythical city divided by a great wall, Juliet and Romeo is a story of land, peoples and the movements of history. It's also about desire, love and death, and then hope.Company Monkey Productions. Director Andrew St John. Music Zoot Lynam. | |
