Bell Shakespeare Tours ROMEO AND JULIET to Sydney and Melbourne, April-July
Bell Shakepeare's travelling acting ensemble The Players will tour a restaging of their 2011 ROMEO AND JULIET at the Sydney Opera House 4/20-5/25 at The National Theatre, St Kilda, Melbourne 7/23-7/27.
In 2011, Romeo And Juliet was seen by over 22,000 students and families from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, including regional audiences of 4,000. A new troupe of Bell Shakespeare’s ensemble of travelling actors The Players will bring Romeo And Juliet back to Sydey and Melbourne audiences under the direction of Damien Ryan, who has directed and performed with Bell Shakespeare many times.
“Romeo And Juliet belongs to all of us. Each generation needs to hear these stories, because they are the moral compass of our lives. The nature of living in an isolated town and how claustrophobic that can be, struck me as very relevant for students in Australia today. I have tried to centre in, as much as possible, on the journey of the young people – Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio, Benvolio and Tybalt,” said Ryan.
The production is suitable for Years 7-12 English and Drama students.
