Director Sally Cookson brings her inventive storytelling and startling modern approach to Shakespeare’s powerful love story Romeo + Juliet.

Played out in a divided city where lives are ruled by secrets and fear, Romeo + Juliet is the explosive story of an intense passion between the son and daughter of sworn enemies and how they risk everything to be together.

Director Cookson’s work includes previous Rose Theatre Kingston hit Hetty Feather, which transferred to the Vaudeville Theatre in 2014, and We’re Going On A Bear Hunt in the West End.
