A new re-imagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy sets the action in the hot Birmingham summer of 2021. In this diverse city, young people’s family loyalties give way to gang allegiance as teenagers play with adult rules. A party in the park gets out of control sparking rumours, rioting and revenge. In the midst of rivalries, first tastes of freedom and sparks of a full-on first love ignite. Two young lovers are led to their tragic deaths by events they can’t control.The 75-minute performance is set to Birmingham-based composer Annie Mahtani’s soundtrack which blends Berlioz’ classical ‘Roméo et Juliette’ score with her original electro-acoustic composition.
Matinee: 1pm
