Romeo and Juliet

This new production fuses Shakespeare’s verse with swashbuckling physicality, bawdy humour, live music, clowning and mask work.

This tale of forbidden love and spiralling violence becomes a fever dream of movement and emotion.

Here, the tragedy unfolds—language is weaponised, bodies clash like storm fronts and the stage pulses with the rhythm of doomed desire. It’s Shakespeare as ritual, rebellion and rapture.

Mask, music, and mischief blur the line between comedy and catastrophe—the lovers' fate is spun by tricksters and echoed in song, as Flabbergast’s clown-led chorus leads us dancing to the edge of ruin.

The world of this Romeo and Juliet feels half-remembered, like something dug up from the forest floor—all bruised fruit, splintered masks and lullabies sung by nightingales. It doesn’t so much tell the story as summon it.
