By any other name would smell as sweet"

The tragic courtship of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers is played out once more in the exquisite setting of King’s College Fellows’ Garden. Romeo and Juliet are caught between two worlds, as their families feud to the death. This spectacular and fast-paced production brings together the romance, passion and violence of the hot streets of Verona. Don’t leave Cambridge without seeing this dazzling production!

No knee-bending to trendy revisionism, but rather a tour de force of Elizabethan drama —The Times
