Romeo & Juliet - Spring Cottage
Spring Cottage, Rivington Village, BL6 7SB
Wednesday 15th July 2026 7:00PM
Two hearts. One fate. A timeless love reborn.
The Duke’s Theatre Company presents Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a bold reimagining of the iconic tragedy directed by Joseph Pitcher. Pitcher’s acclaimed credits include Gypsy (UK Theatre Award for Best Musical Production) and My Fair Lady at The Mill at Sonning, and Macbeth at the Salomons Theatre, Tunbridge Wells. Returning to the company following Macbeth (2025), this vibrant production also features original music by composer Rob Millett (Rambert Dance Company and The Royal Opera House, The National Theatre and Shakespeare’s Globe).
Audience Advisory:
This performance of Romeo and Juliet contains themes and depictions of war, death, suicide and violence, which may be distressing for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised, and it is recommended for ticket holders aged seven and above.
Running time:
2 hours, including a 15 minute interval.
Gates open:
45 minutes before the performance.

E-tickets are preferred (to be shown on smart phones or tablets).
Paper tickets are also accepted. If e-tickets or paper tickets are a problem for you, we can find your name on the system.

Getting Here:
If using GPS, use Rivington Lane, Rivington Village, BL6 7SB.
Parking:
There is a small car park at Spring Cottage, and plenty of on road parking (free) around the area.
Accessibility:
The auditorium area is steeply inclined, but there is a lower access point which brings you onto the lower part of the lawn. The ground is grass slightly uneven. If you require wheelchair access or need to use this access point, please email [email protected] to request assistance on the night.
Dogs:
Except for assistance/guide dogs, we regret that we cannot admit any dogs or other pets to our performances. We appreciate that most dogs are well behaved, but it only takes one pinched meat pie or canine stage invasion, and chaos ensues! It has to be one rule for all.
Toilets:
Toilets are located in the café and are limited. Please be sure to use these facilities at the start of the intermission to avoid large queues before the start of Act 2.
Food and Drink:
Picnicking is encouraged before and during the performance, and at the interval. There is a bar/refreshment facility at this venue.
