Shakespeare’s R&J

R&J Poster

Five teenagers live in a rigid, religious boarding school in the 1950s. One night, after lights out, they discover the banned play of ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ (Read it sometime – it really is a quite bawdy, raw and dangerous piece.) The boys are breaking the rules. They’re up after hours (and not in their dorm asleep). They are reading a banned text and worse – acting it out! They start out by making fun of the rude
innuendos but somehow, things begin to change for the five students.

Acting out the play becomes a kind of awakening, a chance to understand more about themselves, each other and future possibilities. They begin to learn something about the acceptance of all kinds of love – and that really was dangerous territory!

This play was written by Joe Calarco and will be directed by Australian theatre legend, Jeff Kevin. It will be a very special piece of theatre!
