Romeo and Juliet. Live from Shakespeare's Globe

Description

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Performed at Shakespeare's Globe, London's faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse designed in 1599, Romeo and Juliet is arguably the best-loved of all love stories in Western literature. The play's masterful combination of lyricism, suspense, and dramatic changes of mood is dramatized by an energetic cast that stars Adetomiwa Edun-called "a Romeo to die for" by The Independent (London)-and, in her stage debut as Juliet, Ellie Kendrick. Directed by Dominic Dromgoole.
