Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare

In a world of music, fame and money, Shakespeare’s classic play about love is brought to life in a brand new telling. The Montague and Capulet families are embroiled in a long-running feud and the hatred seems to be impossible to shift. When Romeo, a Montague, attends a Capulet ball in disguise, he falls in love with the beautiful Juliet, and she returns the love. A secret marriage takes place between the two young lovers, but happiness and harmony are not quite in reach as circumstances and fate continue to keep them apart.

Perhaps one of the most famous plays of all time exploded onto the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse Main Stage in 2016, marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Now, for the first time, it will be streamed into your homes! Experience the power of this tragic love story.

“This is one of the best modern reworkings I have seen in a long while.” – North West End

“Romeo and Juliet for the Internet generation.” – StageStruck

Written by William Shakespeare

The Garrick is a non-professional organisation that is extremely well regarded for the high quality of our productions; however we rely on the hard work and generosity of our volunteers. Many of our patrons believe that our ticket prices are too low considering our large overheads, the quality of our productions and the overall high standard of the theatrical experience that we provide. We also have a wonderful youth Academy, GAPA which offers theatre stagecraft tuition to over 100 students per term. (We also offer Bursaries so please feel free to enquire).

If you agree and like what you see, then we ask that you support your local Playhouse by kindly donating whatever you can when you book tickets online or at our Box Office. Remember you can also gift aid your kind donation.
