Playing Shakespeare With Deutsche Bank: Romeo And Juliet

Venue

Shakespeare's Globe

The return of our critically acclaimed 2024 production celebrates the 20th year of Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank.

Romeo and Juliet’s intense passion light up a world of increasing violence between rival gangs, the Montagues and the Capulets. Caught in the spiral of hate and revenge, can they break free of the bloodshed and find hope for a different future?

The Globe’s director of education Lucy Cuthbertson (Playing Shakespeare With Deutsche Bank: Macbeth, Olivier Award-nominated Rough Magic) directs Shakespeare’s timeless story of a broken society’s impact on young lives.
