Production details
This year the Middle Temple and the Inner Temple are united in celebrating a unique and historic occasion - the 400th anniversary of the granting of their land by King James 1st in 1608. As part of this celebration Romeo & Juliet will play in the Middle Temple Hall, which famously in 1602 hosted Shakespeare's company in the first recorded performance of Twelfth Night. For 30 performances only, this exquisite venue will house all the breathless excitement and heart-wrenching tragedy of this extraordinary play and its star-crossed lovers. Founded in 2006, Theatre of Memory received critical acclaim for its inaugural West End production of Neil Labute's Bash, including Time Out 'Critics' Choice' 5 STARS and 'Show of the Week'. Middle Temple Hall, Middle Temple Lane, London, EC4Y 9AT. Tickets on sale from Barbican Box Office: 0845 120 7543
