SPOTLIGHT: Juliet & Romeo
Lost Dog
A humorous and heartfelt duet about love, loss and longevity.
It turns out that Romeo and Juliet didn’t die in a tragic misunderstanding… even worse, they got married.
With Lost Dog’s unique blend of dance, theatre and comedy this duet reveals the real story of Romeo and Juliet. Now they’re in their 40s, at least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis, and they feel constantly mocked by their teenage selves and haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love.
To confront their current struggles, they have decided to put on a performance — about themselves. Their therapist told them it was a terrible idea.
Directed by Olivier Award-nominated Ben Duke, Juliet & Romeo takes on our cultural obsession with youth and our inevitable issues with longevity.
★★★★★
“Smart, wryly subversive and sexy…they dance and talk their way through a blissfully wry, subverted version of Romeo and Juliet.”
