Romeo and Julie, a powerful and funny new play by Gary Owen inspired by Shakespeare's romantic tragedy will be presented by the National Theatre and Sherman Theatre. Book Romeo and Julie UK Tour tickets.
Writer Gary Owen and director Rachel O'Riordan reunite following their critically acclaimed productions of Killology and Iphigenia in Splott, recently named by the Guardian as ‘One of the 50 Best Theatre Shows of the 21st Century.’
Romeo is a teenage single dad hanging on tight. Julie is fighting to follow her dream of studying at Cambridge.

Romeo and Julie has set and costume designs by Hayley Grindle, sound design by Gregory Clarke, lighting designer Jack Knowles and Puppetry design and direction by Finn Caldwell.
