RSC Live: Romeo and Juliet (2018)

Plot

What happens when your first love is someone you've been raised to despise? This modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet immerses audiences in a world strikingly similar to our own, where a generation grapples with the legacies of parental conflict and violence. The timeless tale of love at first sight is infused with raw emotion and a yearning for transformation, but it swiftly spirals into tragedy. Directed by Erica Whyman, this production features students from Associate Schools as the Chorus, enriching the performance alongside a talented professional cast.
