Overview

A modern love story inspired by Shakespeare s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo is a single dad hanging on tight. Julie is fighting to follow her dream of studying at Cambridge.

Two Welsh teens raised a few streets apart but from entirely different worlds crash into first love and are knocked off their feet. But at the crossroads to the rest of their lives, Julie s family fears the worst in a world of unequal opportunity. Following their critically acclaimed productions Iphigenia in Splott and Killology, director Rachel O Riordan reunites with Gary Owen to deliver his new play.

This edition is published to coincide with the premiere at the Dorfman, Royal National Theatre, London, in February 2023.
