What’s On

RSC Live presents Romeo & Juliet, which will be shown at The Arts Centre, Edge Hill University on Wednesday, July 18 at 7pm.

What if your first true love was someone you’d been told you must hate?

Set in a world very like our own, this Romeo and Juliet is about a generation of young people born into violence and ripped apart by the bitter divisions of their parents.

The most famous story of love at first sight explodes with intense passion and an irresistible desire for change, but leads all too quickly to heartbreaking consequences.

Preparations are under way for the high-profile wedding of Theseus, Duke of Athens, and his bride the Warrior Queen Hippolyta, but the wedding planner Sebastian finds that he has more problems with the guests than the happy couple… including a rift in the Underworld, in-fighting among the entertainers, and a mischievous sprite to contend with.

The Rose Youth Theatre senior members present a fun-loving, modern English version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream featuring a few musical twists with some hilarious moments.

This performance is based on the classical Shakespearean play with all the much-loved characters but with a fresh, contemporary approach.

A unique introduction to William Shakespeare and a family performance that is not to be missed!

By arrangement with Lazy Bee Scripts.
