Can their love defy the stars?
Shakespeare’s heart-wrenching classic has mesmerised audiences for generations, and in this potent, powerful new Everyman production, director Ellie Hurt strips it back to its brilliant basics.
United by passion but forced apart by their families, Romeo and Juliet are young lovers who must transform their present to forge a beautiful tomorrow. But with their feuding households locked in a deep-rooted cycle of violence and hate, is it possible to win the loved-up future they crave?
Since completing our YEP Directors programme, Ellie Hurt has created acclaimed shows for venues across the UK including Shakespeare North Playhouse and the National Theatre. Now she’s back at the theatre she calls home to deliver a thrilling, visceral experience – an unmissable Romeo & Juliet that asks whether love can resist the crushing forces of family and history.
