There was outstanding engagement with the students throughout.
The key quotations made a great impact on the students. It was a fantastic performance and very engaging.
I liked the energy and the liveliness of the performance. It made the story a lot more compelling and interesting.
It was a memorable performance that will ensure that I will remember quotations for my exams.
Space Requirements
Romeo & Juliet – What size space do I need?
Ideally a main school assembly hall, theatre or drama hall. We prefer not to perform in a school gym or sports hall owing to the potentially poor acoustics. We need at least 3m height clearance over the performance space.
We need a performance space that is at least 5m x 7m with two power points available.
We require access to the space 90 minutes before and 60 minutes after the performance in order to set up and take down equipment.
The performance is directed and designed to be performed in traverse with students seated on 2 sides of the performance space though we can accommodate other layouts if necessary.
Live Performance + Modular Workshop
Ideally suited for Years 8, 9,10 and 11
Performance length: 55/60 minutes followed by a 30 minute workshop
Audience number: approximately 150
Venue: ideally school hall with the audience on four sides
The adaptation fully realises the characters of the lovers and brings to life their world: the sound, heat and colour of Verona, the dark threat of the feud between their families and the ever-increasing speed at which events hurry the lovers to their inevitable doom. It also, through the inclusion of the Narrator ensures that Romeo and Juliet themselves do not remain literary creations distant from the 21st century.
Workshops
A fully interactive and engaging workshop which not only reinforces the students’
retention of key quotations but which allows them to compare and contrast the
human emotions and values driving the action of the play such as love, justice,
honour and loyalty with the interventions of fate.
