“But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun”
Summer 2016 will see Essential Theatre revisit the heart-breaking tale, Romeo and Juliet. This is one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, and is by far one of the world’s greatest love stories.
“These violent delights have violent ends”
The dynamic creative team is being led by director Mark Wilson and designer Chloe Greaves, and together they will deliver a fresh take on this much loved classic.
It will be a truthful, fast paced and energetic production. You will be laughing out loud at the antics of the ever amusing Nurse, dazzled by the charm of Mercutio, and left with your heart throbbing as the final scenes unfold.
Romeo and Juliet is a deeply moving play, and has been retold for centuries across the globe. The themes of forbidden love, family rivalry, revenge and fate still ripple through contemporary crowds.
Under the setting sun, Essential Theatre will transform (winery) into the feuding streets of Verona. You are invited to join this timeless tale and be whisked away by the innocent love of these star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
