This event has passed.

A chance meeting brings together two youngsters from rival families. Determined to pursue their forbidden love they risk all to be together and then fall victim to a cruel destiny, paying the ultimate price for their devotion.

Romeo and Juliet is a heart-rending love story of tragic proportions, filled with passion, tenderness and bitter recriminations. Multi-award-winning company, Northern Broadsides (Wars of the Roses, The Man with Two Gaffers), bring their inimitable warmth, charisma and energy to this timeless romantic tragedy, and demonstrate once more why they are one of the best loved champions of Shakespeare’s work in the UK.

This production includes a brief scene with nudity.

‘The ensemble is the thing…the sheer dedication and drive of the company finally takes your breath away, pushing you to your feet come curtain call.’ The Daily Telegraph

‘Northern Broadsides has a knack of pinning theatre down to fundamentals...the acting is so immediate, so alarmingly intimate, it becomes difficult to believe that anyone could be only pretending.’ The Guardian
