Romeo and Juliet
“Then I defy you, stars!”
This is the lovesick tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
A pair of teenagers fall madly in love while their families violently tear each other apart. An explosive, urgent tale of forbidden love, secrets, loyalty and grief, where one wrong decision can change everything.
What do you do when your fate is already sealed, but you’re falling in love for the very first time? A love that refuses to stay in the past, enduring, unending and unbroken.
“These violent delights have violent ends.”
A Leeds Playhouse, ETT, Royal Lyceum Theatre and Nottingham Playhouse Co-Production
Part of the LCIP 2026 Programme
