Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare
75 minutes of fast-paced Shakespeare.
RADA presents Shakespeare for Young Audiences: abridged plays brought to life for young people (15+) as well as anyone, of any age, who wants to get swept up in a high energy Shakespeare production.
When Romeo and Juliet fall in love, that love is put to the ultimate test by their warring families, the Montagues and Capulets.
After getting married in secret, their ongoing family conflict reaches breaking point and Romeo is banished from ends.
In a bid to be reunited with her man, lovesick Juliet calls on their friend Laurence to help her escape ends but her plan may result in tragic consequences.
