As a very different Valentines Day looms for people in the UK, Metcalfe Gordon Productions have created a unique digital version of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, directed by Nick Evans. The online production has been stitched together in such a way that the viewer is fooled into thinking that the performers are all present in the same room.

Over the decades, hundreds of films have been made that are either direct adaptations from Cinderella or have plots loosely based on the story, which traces its roots back to ancient times. Can't keep the story straight? Need help deciphering the differences between the Rodgers and Hammerstein, Disney, and newest Andrew Lloyd Webber versions of the fairytale? BroadwayWorld is breaking it down!

With Romeo & Juliet, starring Emily Redpath and Dear Evan Hansen Olivier Award-winner Sam Tutty, we set out to produce a piece of work that broke through the ceiling of creativity one finds at present with technologically limited readings of plays via Zoom and similar mediums.

An extension has been announced for the release of  the new filmed theatre production of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet starring Sam Tutty and Emily Redpath in the title roles and Sir Derek Jacobi as the Narrator.

Ryan Metcalfe and Simon Gordon on behalf of Metcalfe Gordon Productions are delighted to announce a new filmed theatre production of William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet starring Sam Tutty and Emily Redpath in the title roles, with direction by Nick Evans.

The Stage has today announced the winners of The Stage Awards, reimagined this year to celebrate theatrical organisations who continued to create great theatre, show innovation, and help ensure theatre survives in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
