Romeo and Juliet - BSL Interpreted Performance - 02/04/2025

The original play, originally scored – with rap and R&B.

Everything that makes Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy so well loved is here. The rich, feuding families. The intense, forbidden passion. And the flash of violence that tears the young lovers apart, sending them spiralling towards tragedy...

This is unmistakeably Shakespeare’s love story, unaltered in its original text. But it’s not just Shakespeare’s play. There is an important plus one: rap.

This story shines with new, original elements of rap, soul and R&B. Think everyday English as well as the Elizabethan variety. And the poetry of rap rhythms as well as perfect pentameters.

Romeo and Juliet is a co-production with Bristol Old Vic, The Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, and Hackney Empire. Directed by Corey Campbell, Creative Director of the Belgrade, the play springs from communities within Coventry, with music elements that reflect collaborations with That’s a Rap and A Class.
