ROMEO AND JULIET: The Lord Chamberlain’s Men
July 10, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Price: From £18
Venue: Lichfield Cathedral
Two youths from Verona – Romeo and Juliet – meet by chance and instantly fall in love. Members of two warring families, the Montagues and Capulets, they realise they cannot be together. But driven by love they risk everything and marry in secret. No sooner are they married than misfortune intervenes and, despite efforts to outrun it, their families’ ancient feud catches up with them and brings about their tragic end.
The Lord Chamberlain’s Men – with a history stretching back to William Shakespeare himself – invite you to join them this summer for the timeless and classic love story, Romeo and Juliet. They present this great play as the Bard first saw it, in the open air, with an all-male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.
Packed with memorable poetry, devastating twists and turns, and burning passion this is without doubt the greatest love story ever told. A play about the power of true love, the extraordinary sacrifices we make for it and the futility and devastating consequences of entrenched conflict.
Bring a chair, cushions and/or a blanket, plus a picnic, and prepare to be entertained and transported in this special outdoor event at Lichfield Cathedral…
