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 vibrant contemporary production of Shakespeare's classic romantic tragedy, this modern interpretation gives this most popular of plays a twenty-first century twist whilst remaining faithful to the spirit of the timeless, original script. It's a production that will appeal both to lovers of traditional Shakespeare and those looking for an exhilarating mix of conflict and romance.
