Information for Romeo and Juliet at Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough (Play). The story of frustrated young (illegally young in modern terms) love and death and the vendetta between two families in a tight-knit Italian community. One of Shakespeare's most popular and enduring dramas it has also been re-done as film, ballet, musical (most notably "West Side Story") and ice spectacular! A brand-new adaption set on the streets of Northern Ireland's capital in 1998 - the year the Good Friday agreement was signed. Led with movement and a banging 90s soundtrack played by a live band, this is a fast-paced, modern take on a timeless classic, proving Shakespeare's as relevant today as he's always been - a fragile peace is only as durable as opposing sides permit... McCarthy Auditorium
