The Most Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo And Juliet
By William Shakespeare. Blood in the Alley¹s production is a
dramatic modern interpretation of The OMost Lamentable Tragedy of
Romeo and Juliet¹, setting it in a school in 1920¹s Verona
where the principal has difficulties keeping his housemasters, Capulet
and Montague, in check. Blood in the Alley¹s new production illuminates
this ultimate love story, staying true to the original script within
the modern setting. The use of an all male cast similar to Shakespeare¹s
original company emphasises the comedy of language and situations
inherent within the tragedy. Some of the issues, like the intervention
of church and state, achieve a greater clarity when the comedy is
highlighted by the cross dressing and gender swapping of the key roles.
Performance Schedule: Wed 10: 10.30am & 8pm; Thurs 11: 10.30am
& 2pm; Fri 12: 10.30am, tickets: f19/22/25 (+ f2 booking fee).
