Important Information

Romeo a Juliet contains sexual scenes, physical violence, weapons, murder and suicide.

Based on the Welsh translation by J. T. Jones

“Speakest thou from the heart?”

Two families, two languages and a young couple who are prepared to risk it all.

This new exploration of the famous tragic love story, places the violent feud between the Montagues and Capulets in bilingual Wales – where the Montagues’ Welsh and the Capulets’ English collide.

Language divides and unites, an ancient grudge erupts again, and the cosmos shifts as two star-cross’d lovers face their fate.

Directed by Steffan Donnelly, this ground-breaking production weaves together Welsh and English, exploring Welsh identity and offering a new perspective on Shakespeare’s timeless play.
