Open Air Theatre presents Romeo and Juliet at Capel Manor Gardens

An outdoor production of Shakespeare’s timeless tale

A passionate, poetic and utterly gripping production of this Shakespeare favourite.

The story

Shakespeare states in the opening lines of this play that we are going to see an explosive swash-buckling romance. But the surprise he has in store for us is that it’s extremely funny too! The Montagues and the Capulets are at war with one another – but when Montague’s son gatecrashes Capulet’s party in disguise and falls in love with Capulet’s daughter a chain-reaction of events is set in motion which has a devastating conclusion.

Performance information

Bring a blanket or camping chair and find a spot in our picturesque Gardens to lose yourself in this unforgettable love story. The performance will take place in an open space without reserved seating.
