Romeo and Juliet

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

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 thrilling tale of young love, family and loyalty. Weaving together Shakespeare's timeless words with music and dance, set against the east London skyline, this contemporary twist on the classic tale promises to be an unforgettable summer's night out. In partnership with Stratford East, this large-scale production features young artists and our local community alongside two professional performers. Romeo & Juliet is adapted by Kwame Owusu and co-directed by Emily Ling Williams and Malik Nashad Sharpe
