This version of Romeo And Juliet for young audiences is set against a vibrant urban backdrop, bursting full of excitement, colour, dancing and live song as a company of eight recreate the most famous love story of all time.

A modern city. A deadly feud. And a pair of star-crossed lovers.

This contemporary celebration of Shakespeare’s much loved drama brings Romeo And Juliet to life for a new generation.

Created specifically for children aged eight to 12-years-old, this production is designed as a first experience of Shakespeare. Although the adaptation uses the original Shakespeare text throughout, it has been edited significantly to ensure that it is accessible for the targeted age range and is therefore not really suitable for older students studying the play. The production also involves audience participation which has again been designed specifically to support the engagement of a younger audience with the production.
