Romeo and Juliet
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 23RD AUGUST 2009
Nearby Romeo and Juliet

The Globe's Young Hearts Season is opening with the most tender and troubled young hearts in all of Shakespeare, maybe even literature; Romeo and Juliet has been tugging at heartstrings for over four centuries and watching it at this splendid open-air theatre is the nearest you'll get to experiencing the play Elizabethan style. "In fair Verona, where we lay our scene", Simon Daw's designs take audiences back to the Renaissance and as the play bursts open with a clash between the Montagues and Capulets, the fate of our "star cross'd lovers" is set in motion. Artistic director Dominic Dromgoole directs Romeo and Juliet for the first time, having already plunged headfirst into Shakespearean tragedy with Antony and Cleopatra and King Lear in previous Globe seasons. Add a cast of fresh talent including Adetomiwa Edun and Ellie Kendrick in the title roles and this is a thrilling prospect.About Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
This replica of the Shakespeare's 16th century theatre, reconstructed just 200 yards from its original site, is the brainchild of American actor and director Sam Wanamaker. Built in wood and thatch, using techniques from 400 years ago, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre opened in 1996. More about Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
