“Sheader’s Fifties Mafia-country production of Romeo and Juliet... is stamped with invention, surprise and imagination.”

Evening Standard

Shakespeare raised Romeo and Juliet to iconic status. Their names the world over have become an ideal of youthful passion.

New Artistic Director, Timothy Sheader, opens his first season with this thrilling play. ‘Night’s cloak’ famously hides the young lovers, what better way to share their story than beneath that same night sky.
