Romeo and Juliet
By William Shakespeare
“These
violent delights have violent ends”
Famous as a romance about two “star-crossed”
lovers, Shakespeare’s ROMEO AND JULIET
is also a bloodthirsty tragedy that pulls no punches in its portrayal of
feuding families, doomed love and violent confrontations.
Romeo and
f***ing Juliet
Like Peaky Blinders, the production is set
just after WW1, and expect a blisteringly contemporary and edgy soundtrack.
The Romani
gypsy culture present in Peaky Blinders
helps to create a world where a belief in fate and the stars makes sense and
the violence and corruption so rife in the TV show helps to depict the ‘ancient
grudge’ between families Montague and Capulet.
We’ve got
the haircuts, the suits, the caps and the music. But... it’s Shakespeare’s
words.
Redevelopment update –
Over
the last four years we have raised £1.6
million to complete the biggest update to our building since moving here in
1963. The results of this effort - including an improved exterior and a new
foyer, bar and gallery and full access
to all areas of the venue for wheelchair and mobility restricted users - can
now be enjoyed by all our visitors.
We
continue to fundraise for exciting and necessary projects, including enhancing
our new Studio Theatre to an even higher standard for exciting and varied
performances and upgrading our ladies
toilets to do away with queues at busy times.
