In Shakespeare’s Verona, hatred and violence are rife as the Montague and Capulet households play out their long-standing blood feud. Despite their warring families, it is love at first sight for young lovers Romeo and Juliet. Desperate to be together but forced apart by their families, will love prevail for the start-crossed lovers?

"Tragedy at its best, alfresco and with the pungency of the night."

"To be honest, in an ideal world, Shakespeare probably IS better when performed outdoors. And in an ideal world it would always be performed by British Touring Shakespeare."
