Join The Players as they retell Shakespeare's classic from youthful innocence to tragic conclusion, via modern commentary interweaved with Shakespeare's original text.

One ancient grudge, one life-changing connection, and one society forever changed. Romeo and Juliet remains a rollercoaster ride of passion and violence, and a tale that, generations on, we continue returning to.

Such Sweet Sorrow is an engaging and interactive performance experience for students and teachers that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats, from first sight to final breath. In 50 minutes The Players will journey through the entire story, discussing character motivations, illuminating themes and analysing language techniques and narrative devices.
