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.
