ROMEO AND JULIET 1998
Presented by OVO
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Adam Nichols & Kelly-Ann Stewart
“Two households, both alike in dignity. In broken Belfast, where we lay our scene…”
A brand-new adaptation set on the streets of Northern Ireland’s capital in 1998 – the year that the Good Friday agreement was signed.
“From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives.”
Led with movement and a banging 90s soundtrack played by a live band, Shakespeare meets Derry Girls in OVO’s bold, imaginative and high paced take on this timeless classic.
“A gorgeous mix of storytelling, physical theatre and songs, all blending together to produce a heart-stopping show.”
★★★★★ LondonTheatre1
“This pacy version of the classic breathes new life into this passionate tragedy.”
★★★★ West End Best Friend
“A sparkling new interpretation of a well-loved play presented by multi-talented performers.”
