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! Take two restaurant owning families, a pinch of passionate rivalry and a whole lot of Italian sauce, throw in a pizza slice, a Fiat and your favourite pair of star-crossed lovers and you have the perfect recipe for Oddsocks’ Romeo and Juliet. This is a refreshing interpretation of what is arguably Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy; reworked with the typically light-hearted Oddsocks treatment and beaten with a slapstick straight into the 21st century. If you’ve seen it already (and you want to relive that car chase!) it’s your chance to see it again and if you’ve not seen it yet - what are you waiting for! Running time 2hrs
