The world's most famous story of love and loss

The Royal Shakespeare Company present Romeo and Juliet directed by Peter Gill.

Despite a long-standing feud between the Montagues and the Capulets when Romeo, only son of the Montagues, meets Juliet, the Capulets' only daughter, he falls in love with her and she with him. With the help of Juliet's Nurse, they are married in secret by Friar Lawrence.

"The new production of Romeo and Juliet looks fabulous... Peter Gill's account is impressively clear, uncluttered and atmospheric" The Mail on Sunday

"An extraordinary achievement... not just to re-invigorate but to re-inaugurate Shakespeare's most youthful and hormonally perturbed tragedy... the casting itself is a wonder... Peter Gill is in the enviable position of being one of our greatest directors" The Independent
