South Africa's cult-classic theatre troupe, Baked Shakespeare, is in its 6th season (after sold-out runs across Cape Town, London, and the Edinburgh Fringe)! Join us for our chaotic take on the world's most famous love story: Romeo and Juliet.Two star-crossed lovers from conflicting families fall into a reckless, all-consuming love and defy everyone to be together (think 2010s playlists full of Taylor Swift). Also: duels, banishment, and cruel twists of fate that spiral everything out of control!
Not really a tragedy (although it's very tragic), not really a comedy (although it's very funny), this is the most iconic ROMANCE ever written. Move over Twilight, Romeo and Juliet are in the house!
"The incorporation of cannabis and its heady effects within the performance, whilst seamlessly blending the rich language and complex emotions of Shakespeare’s plays, sets this play apart from the rest and is a novel way of bringing new audiences to the theatre." - CUE
Baked Shakespeare’s trippy take on Romeo and Juliet delivers electric chemistry, playful audience interaction (but no peer pressure we promise), outrageous musical numbers, and, of course … explosive sword fights, iconic moments, and a balcony that we can definitely afford to build!
Join our award-winning cast at café Roux for a psychedelic evening of classical performance with a twist, and some of the grooviest 420 vibrations imaginable. See for yourself why South Africa LOVES Baked Shakespeare (and why we were one of the "best/funniest shows in years" at the Edinburgh Fringe)!
