SPOTLIGHT: Juliet & Romeo
Lost Dog Dance
UNITED KINGDOM THEATRE
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.
Lost Dog Dance uniquely blends dance, theatre and comedy for this duet to reveal the real story of Romeo and Juliet. Now they’re in their 40s, at least one of them is in the grips of a midlife 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.”
–Judith Mackrell, The Guardian
