A high-voltage retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
In a rigid boarding school, four repressed adolescents unearth a secret copy of Shakespeare’s tale of forbidden love…
What begins as a rebellious laugh soon turns into something more violent. Thrust into the reality of The Bard’s words, parallels between their lives and Shakespeare’s doomed lovers begin to reveal themselves.
“Prepare for a bracing and brilliant shock to the system…an inspired new theatrical take on this early masterpiece” Paul Taylor, The Independent
Age Guidance: 14+
