Romeo and Juliet Theatre Performance by OVO Theatre

for 3 hours
St Albans Cathedral
Sumpter Yard, St Albans, AL1 1BY, United Kingdom

Two households, both alike in dignity. In a deeply divided Belfast, where we lay our scene.

A brand-new adaptation, set on the streets of Northern Ireland’s capital in 1998, the year that the Good Friday agreement was signed. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives.

Led with movement and live music, and making full use of the atmospheric surroundings of the Peace Doves Installation, this is a high paced, contemporary take on a timeless classic, showing us that a fragile peace is only as durable as opposing sides permit.

"The perfect way to access Shakespeare, with an imaginative and modern telling of a traditional tale."

St Albans Cathedral

St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain and stands over the place where Alban, Britain's first saint, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago. Down the centuries, countless pilgrims have come to honour the saint’s sacrifice and offer their prayers at his shrine – and they still come in their thousands today.

St Albans Cathedral is open, we look forward to welcoming you very soon. Please visit our website for more information: www.stalbanscathedral.org
