Everything that makes Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy so well loved is here. The rich, feuding families. The intense, forbidden passion. And the flash of violence that tears the young lovers apart, sending them spiralling towards tragedy...
This is unmistakeably Shakespeare’s love story, unaltered in its original text. But it’s not just Shakespeare’s play. There is an important plus one: rap.
Romeo and Juliet is a co-production with Bristol Old Vic, The Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, and Hackney Empire. The play springs from communities within Coventry, with music elements that reflect collaborations with That’s a Rap (co-founded by Corey Weekes) and A Class.
Book here for the run at Bristol Old Vic from 12th March - 5th April!
