Romeo and Juliet

Directed by Tom Parkhill.

Surely one of Shakespeare’s most well know and loved plays, Romeo And Juliet is the classic story of star crossed love. Two young people meet and fall in love but the bitter hatred between their families is too much for even the purest love to overcome. Helpless in the face of cruel circumstances they are torn apart, separated and ultimately undone by the very love that brought them together. “Call me but love and I’ll be new baptized…”
