Romeo and Juliet
Written by William Shakespeare
Adapted by Shaz Mullens
Directed by Leah Nicholls
December 1st to 3rd. 2023
An adapted performance of the classic story of Romeo and Juliet set in modern-day Verona High. Family conflict, youth rebellion and parental expectation permeate this timeless tale. The story of Romeo and Juliet has survived as one of the most loved because it allows us to see the world through the young lover’s hearts and minds. This performance stays true to the Shakespearian text and delivers world that is relatable and real. It embraces the genuine role of the Romeo and Juliet story, not as a morality play that judges youthful choices but simply portrays authentic characters, living real lives and allows their humanity to unravel.

Hidden Orchard is a depiction of real stories of local human experience, woven together with cinematic visuals.
