Star-crossed lovers denied their happy ever after
Spoiler: this play doesn’t end well. Not to worry; it’s not as if we’re smitten by Romeo & Juliet for its tragic denouement. Shakespeare’s most enduring play continues to cast its spell for a myriad of other reasons, and like the suckers that we are, we keep falling for it head over heels. Eight actors aided by a cracking team of designers bring The Bard’s masterpiece to life in this dashing drama, transposed from a balcony in Verona to a pub in Fulham.
