MATTHEW BOURNE'S ROMEO AND JULIET
Premieres Fri Mar 26 at 6pm; on demand through Sun Apr 4
$15 digital access: [ Ссылка ]

This passionate and contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare’s classic story of love and conflict is set in the not-too-distant future at The Verona Institute where ‘difficult’ young people are mysteriously confined by a society that seeks to divide and crush their youthful spirit and individuality. The two young lovers must follow their hearts as they risk everything to be together. Filmed live during its 2019 World Premiere National Tour, Matthew Bourne’s Romeo and Juliet stars Cordelia Braithwaite as Juliet, Paris Fitzpatrick as Romeo, Dan Wright as Tybalt, and Ben Brown as Mercutio.

Bursting with youth, vitality, and Bourne’s trademark storytelling, the UK’s brightest young dance talent join the New Adventures company, with direction and choreography by Matthew Bourne, design by Lez Brotherston, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Paul Groothuis, and new orchestrations of the Prokofiev score by Terry Davies, played live by the New Adventures Orchestra conducted by Brett Morris.
