Following on from the success of Macbeth, the highly acclaimed Icarus Theatre Collective presents a bold and exciting new production of Shakespeare’s most tragic tale, Romeo & Juliet which comes to the St. Helens Theatre Royal on 25th April.
In defiance of their families and in secrecy from their closest friends, hopeful young lives burn amidst a cataclysmic backdrop. Sun and moon shine down on star-crossed lovers as they hide their passion and sexuality from their warring families and their closest friends. Misadventure, family pride, and ancient quarrels abort and bury the most joyous of beginnings in Romeo and Juliet, the most hopeful of love stories.
Icarus Theatre Collective launched in 2004 and is one of the most fearless and dynamic theatre companies in the U.K., their reputation for quality productions of contemporary and classic theatre continues to grow. The company’s productions have won countless accolades including Time Out’s Critics Choice, as well as receiving great praise from critics and audiences alike.
Tickets for Romeo and Juliet are priced at £13 for both performances on Thursday 25th April. Performances are at 12.30pm and 19.30pm. There is a special group offer where each ticket will be priced at £10 for groups of 10 or more.
