Shakespeare’s Timeless Tragedy Is Retold At The St. Helens Theatre Royal.

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.
