Press

“…innovative…challenging…daring…a frisson of new energy taking the leap into the unknown…respecting the intelligence of its audiences, challenging them to come along with the fantastic company and try something new…As much fun as that (the current London production directed by Kenneth Brannagh) was, I’d much rather see this – or anything else come to that – by Modzelewski and Paterson.”

“…fresh, with visceral emotion and raw intensity… visually and audibly stunning…the finest Juliet I’ve seen on stage…”
Cardiff Shakespeare

“…a brave…alternative glimpse into the words of Shakespeare…gritty and new…innovative…bringing it truly into a now…between the interpretation, the cast and the environment- it is definitely a must-see.”
An Organised Mess

About

First Taste. First Touch. First Love. First Kiss.

In modern Verona, violence erupts between the Montagues and Capulets with tragic consequences. With the death of their children, the citizens come together and through song, movements and story examine how they came to such tragedy.

This production fused devised creation, physical theatre practices and First Folio Text.
