Box Clever Presents.... ROMEO & JULIET
This fast-paced, high-energy adaptation of Romeo and Juliet places the audience at the heart of the action. With just three actors and minimal staging, the production strips the play back to its core, highlighting the urgency of the story and the emotional stakes faced by its young characters.
A bold, modern narrator guides the piece, using humour, reflection and direct audience involvement to challenge the idea of “true love” and pull viewers into the drama. Scenes shift rapidly in tone and tempo, blending sharp choreography, clear storytelling and rich character work to create a dynamic experience that speaks directly to young audiences.
This version of Romeo and Juliet is both accessible and uncompromising, offering a fresh take on Shakespeare’s tragedy that resonates today.
‘A great modern-day interpretation with excellent audience participation. The students benefited from seeing the actors bringing it to life’ Head of English, Bishop Young Community Academy
Running time: 1 hour, no interval
Age: 12+
