The production presents a psychological reinterpretation of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, featuring a scenario co-written by Marston and Edward Kemp. Set and costume designs are created by David Fleischer, with lighting design by Martin Gebhardt. The musical score by Prokofiev is performed by the Philharmonia Zurich under the musical direction of conductor Dmitry Matvienko.
The principal dance cast features dynamic rotations across key roles throughout the run, led by principal dancers including Karen Azatyan, Lucas van Rensburg, and Chandler Dalton alternating as Romeo, alongside Ayaha Tsunaki, Nancy Osbaldeston, and Max Richter alternating as Juliet. The ensemble includes dancers from Ballet Zurich, the Junior Ballett, and the Zurich Dance Academy, with supporting roles portrayed by Pablo Octávio as Mercutio, Joel Woellner and Brandon Lawrence as Tybalt, and Charles-Louis Yoshiyama as Lord Capulet.
