Romeo and Juliet

Chepstow

Saturday 15 June Romeo & Juliet

7.30pm, Gates open 6.45pm, 7pm gates open 6.15pm

 

 

Outdoor theatre in the spectacular setting of Chepstow Castle. Heartbreak Productions have updated the tale of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers, Romeo & Juliet to a 21st century red-carpet event where the two warring families are notorious celebs amid a social media buzz. With the media reporting their every move tensions are running high. There’s only one question on everybody’s lips – will these two families behave, or will it be another fiery battle at dawn as the fabulous feud continues? Set in the here and now, and mixing in some modern language, music, and technology, this production explores how one of the most celebrated tales of passionate love would play out in the 21st century. So bring a chair and pack the picnic (after you’ve uploaded it to Instagram, obvs!). Dress to impress and remember to charge your phone, as tweeting, snapchat, and selfies are highly advisable. After all, if you haven’t posted it online, has it really even happened?
