Romeo and Juliet / OVO Theatre
Book Now“Two households, both alike in dignity. In broken Belfast, where we lay our scene...”
A brand-new adaption 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, this is a high paced, modern take on a timeless classic.
OVO’s fresh take shows us that Shakespeare is as relevant today as it’s always been and that a fragile peace is only as durable as opposing sides permit.
"A gorgeous mix of storytelling and physical theatre with carefully chosen songs, all blending together to produce a heart-stopping show."
★★★★★ London Theatre
"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." - St Albans Times
