The classic Romeo & Juliet at The Lowry until 7th June

A chance meeting brings together two youngsters from rival families in Shakespeare's evergreen tale.

Determined to pursue their forbidden love, they risk all to be together and then fall victim to a cruel destiny, paying the ultimate price for their devotion.

Romeo and Juliet is a heart-rending love story of tragic proportions, filled with passion, tenderness and bitter recriminations. Multi-award-winning company, Northern Broadsides (Wars of the Roses, The Man with Two Gaffers), bring their inimitable warmth, charisma and energy to this timeless romantic tragedy, and demonstrate once more why they are one of the best loved champions of Shakespeare’s work in the UK.

This production includes a brief scene with nudity.
