Details

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 fresh, invigorating version of Shakespeare's famous tale, brimful of clowning and visual delights. With a cast of three, Shifting Sands tackle the pitfalls of Shakespearean English, scale the dizzy heights of adolescent passion and plumb the depths of a lover's despair.
