Here’s
something a bit different for anyone who fancies some theatrical action in
North London: -
Hiraeth
Artistic Productions presents ‘Romeo & Juliet’, by William Shakespeare, at ‘The
Upstairs at the Gatehouse’, a fringe venue in Highgate, north London, from 6
Feb to 2 March 2013.
Directed
by Zoe Ford, cast includes Rosalind Blessed, Benjamin Ireland, Maya Thomas.
“Quadrophenia
meets Shakespeare. Set in the fraught days following the violent confrontation
between Mods and Rocker crowds on the shores of Brighton in 1964, tensions between
the children of two powerful families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are
running high. In the midst of the conflict, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet's
eyes meet for the first time; it is a glance that will not only radically
change the course of their lives, but alter the face of Brighton forever.”
'Two
households, both alike in dignity…
From
ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where
civil blood makes civil hands unclean.’
'Quadrophenia'
meets Shakespeare in Hiraeth Artistic Productions visceral, vibrant and
sexually charged adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
From the
company that created the critically acclaimed, box office successes Macbeth, A
Life in the Theatre and Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's classic tale of
forbidden love is transported into the cultural din of 1960's Brighton.

Bathed
in 60's music, politics and culture, Romeo and Juliet is a comedically
sumptuous and emotionally tumultuous exploration of the human heart and the
extremes we will go to in the name of hate and love!
‘…tis
known I am a pretty piece of flesh …’
