Set in a world of gangs, Nick Bagnall’s production reimagines Shakespeare’s classic love tale, Romeo & Juliet, for 21st Century audiences, exploring sexuality with some of the characters having their gender swapped, including Juliet who will become Julius.

This contemporary view of the play will be an edited, fast paced production where there is bloodshed on the streets and family rivalries and arranged marriages are common place. The ‘swords’ of the original will be replaced with the ‘knives’ of today.

       

George Caple (Romeo) and Elliott Kingsley (Julius) will play the star-crossed lovers. Caple graduated from RADA in 2016 and has appeared in Who Cares (Lowry) and Epic Love and Pop Songs (Pleasance) prior to the Everyman Rep Season. Kingsley came through the theatre’s YEP auditions to take up a training place in the Company funded by Everyman alumni and his roles in the Rep Season mark his professional stage debut.

Director Nick Bagnall said: “It is a play that is constantly revisited and demands to be placed in modern times to allow it to reflect the lives of young people today. We are strongly committed to creating work with and for young people, so bringing the Rep Company together with YEP and Romeo & Juliet in such an exciting way is the perfect choice.”
