Rosaline and Juliet by Lara Lawman and Lily Roberts‘Two cousins unalike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene…’
It’s 1396 and courtship is complicated. Rosaline has been dumped, Juliet is in love, and it’s unclear who has it worse.
When events at the Capulet Ball set fate in motion, Ros and Ju must navigate accidental murders, love triangles and the peaks and pits of female friendship. A new, comedic, take on Shakespeare’s famous love story; how far will Rosaline and Juliet go in the pursuit of their happily ever after?
This is a love story, but not the one you’d expect.
After two successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023, and Camden Fringe Festival 2024, the company of Rosaline and Juliet are delighted to be making their debut Exeter performance at The Barnfield, a place close to their hearts as graduates from the University of Exeter.

CASSETTES
“You’re not a good angel, Kit. You’re letting your feelings get in the way, it’s clouding your judgement…”
Eff is battling with a life-long sorrow. Harley is just trying to love her.
Kit is helping. At least that’s definitely what they should be doing. But being a Guardian Angel is hard, and they just might be messing everything up…
Join MAGNA as they scratch scenes from Anna Wheatley’s new play, CASSETTES. Expect queer angels, human love, 1960s pop songs and a dive into the colour of sadness.
MAGNA are a Plymouth-based, award-winning Arts Collective who make form-busting work exploring the human condition.
‘Pushing the boundaries of theatrical experiences…Companies like this are setting the benchmark of what is possible.’
