Chapel Lane Theatre Company presents
SHAKESPEARE'S R&J
by Joe Calarco adapted from William Shakespeare's play




'A brilliant play, imaginative, thought provoking, well staged and
acted. Almost "The History Boys" meets "Romeo and Juliet".
Highly recommended!'



Fresh from a run in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Chapel Lane Theatre Company presents "Shakespeare's R&J", an exciting and refreshing new adaptation of the bard's original love story.



Four talented young actors play
boys at a strict and repressive boarding school. During the day they
are forced to go through classes in religion, Latin and even the study
of women's roles in society. After classes have finished, one of the
boys produces a copy of Romeo and Juliet and they all take it in
turns to read passages from it.

As the play progresses the boys
become more deeply immersed in the characters and themes of the
play and the lines between acting and reality become blurred.
