WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT OUR ADAPTATION OF ROMEO + JULIET?
Experience Shakespeare like never before with Mashed Theatre & Films’ innovative adaptation for 2025. This contemporary twist on the classic tragedy follows Chloe and Dave, two students racing against the clock on a group assignment. Their task: to explore and argue the relevance of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet to today’s audience.
It covers every angle! Who's to blame? Is Shakespeare still relevant? Recontextualising the play? It's got it all!
As Chloe and Dave grapple with differing viewpoints, they dive into the heart of the play, re-enacting key scenes to bolster their arguments. Through their passionate performances, they confront the timeless themes of love, conflict, and fate, all while striving to understand how these elements resonate with modern viewers.
Our production of Romeo & Juliet offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare’s enduring relevance, blending insightful analysis with dynamic live performances. Join Chloe and Dave in their quest to bridge the gap between classic literature and contemporary life, and discover why Romeo & Juliet continues to captivate and challenge audiences across generations.
