- Insane Root
After their triumphant, site-specific reimaginings of Macbeth (Redcliffe Caves) and Orpheus and Eurydice (Suspension Bridge Vaults), Bristol’s Insane Root return this summer with another thoughtful match-up of play and place: Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, performed in the former swimming pool within Eastville Park.
Built as a Victorian lido, the pool was damaged by shrapnel in World War II and subsequently turned into a community garden. Insane Root’s R&J will feature a company of ten performers playing multiple roles, weaving in and amongst the audience, and will showcase the company’s hallmark live singing, with fight sequences, dynamic staging and dance.
