Royal Shakespeare Company Live: Romeo and Juliet

Certificate
12A
Running Time
163 mins

You know the story: star-cross’d lovers, tragedy, etc. But Erica Whyman‘s timely new multicultural production for the RSC shakes it up by casting women in five traditionally male roles, including Mercutio, and reworking the Bard’s tragic romance as a Brexit-era inter-generational battle.

It’s broadcast live to cinemas from Stratford-upon-Avon.
