The Lord Chamberlain's Men: Romeo & Juliet

“A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.”

The Lord Chamberlain’s Men invite you to join them for the timeless and classic love story, Romeo & Juliet. With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare himself they present this great play as he first saw it, in the open air, with an all-male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance. Two youths from Verona - Romeo and Juliet - meet by chance and instantly fall in love. Members of two warring families, the Montagues and Capulets, they realise they cannot be together. But driven by love they risk everything and marry in secret. No sooner are they married than misfortune intervenes and, despite efforts to outrun it, their families’ ancient feud catches up with them and brings about their tragic end.
