See Shakespeare differently with 1623 Theatre Company as they map the journey of literature’s most famous lovers, in this hour-long adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Charting the course of the central narrative - from Romeo and Juliet’s initial infatuation to their untimely demise - this fast-moving adaptation encapsulates all of the integral events of this tragic tale of love and woe.
Award-winning and innovative, 1623’s work promises to offer fresh insight into one of the most well-known stories ever staged, for audiences both young and old.
