“Two households, both alike in dignity. In broken Belfast, where we lay our scene...”
A brand-new adaption set on the streets of Northern Ireland’s capital in 1998 - the year the Good Friday agreement was signed.
Led with movement and a banging 90s soundtrack played by a live band, this is a fast-paced, modern take on a timeless classic, proving Shakespeare's as relevant today as he's always been - a fragile peace is only as durable as opposing sides permit...
