Juliet & Romeo | Devised by Ben Duke & Solène Weinachter | Directed by Ben Duke
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Lost Dog's Juliet & Romeo reveals the real story of Shakespeare's most revered couple. In this version, Romeo and Juliet didn't die in a tragic misunderstanding. They grew up and lived happily ever after. Well, they lived at least.
Now Romeo and Juliet are 40ish. At least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis. They feel constantly mocked by their teenage selves and are haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love. They have decided to confront their current struggles by putting on a performance in front of a live audience - about themselves. Their therapist told them it was a terrible idea.
Directed by Olivier Award-nominated Ben Duke, Juliet & Romeo takes on our obsession with youth and the inevitable issues with romantic longevity
