Synopsis:
A modern love story inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo is a single dad hanging on tight. Julie is fighting to follow her dream of studying at Cambridge.
Two Welsh teens raised a few streets apart – but from entirely different worlds – crash into first love and are knocked off their feet. But at the crossroads to the rest of their lives, Julie’s family fears the worst in a world of unequal opportunity.
Following their critically acclaimed productions Iphigenia in Splott and Killology, director Rachel O’Riordan reunites with Gary Owen to deliver his new play.
Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin, Cabaret) plays Romeo, and Rosie Sheehy (Oleanna Arts Theatre, King John, RSC) plays Julie.
