A rose by another name: Juliet and Romeo

Passion or Obsession?

Add to my Calendar 29-10-2021 19:30 29-10-2021 21:30 36 A rose by another name: Juliet and Romeo Shakespeare’s timeless words fused with intoxicating melodies from Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi: star-crossed lovers as never before. Romeo and Love have been a pretty dysfunctional team for a long time. Rosaline… that didn’t go so well. Maybe Juliet will finally be the one, if Love can exercise some self-control and rein in her penchant for chaos. But desire and egotism are dangerous bedfellows: Juliet struggles desperately amid powerful currents of coercion and manipulation. A noble passion to heal age-old rifts? Perhaps not. Running time 70 minutes, without interval. Performed in English and Italian with English surtitles. https://marginalia-performance.com/juliet-and-romeo St Gabriel's Church, London DD/MM/YYYY

Programme Note

Shakespeare’s timeless words fused with intoxicating melodies from Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi: star-crossed lovers as never before.

Romeo and Love have been a pretty dysfunctional team for a long time. Rosaline… that didn’t go so well. Maybe Juliet will finally be the one, if Love can exercise some self-control and rein in her penchant for chaos. But desire and egotism are dangerous bedfellows: Juliet struggles desperately amid powerful currents of coercion and manipulation. A noble passion to heal age-old rifts? Perhaps not.

Running time 70 minutes, without interval. Performed in English and Italian with English surtitles.
