Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: Romeo and Juliet

26 February – 25 March 2026

This is the most famous story about teenagers ever told: their intense passion lights up a world of increasing violence between rival gangs, the Montagues and the Capulets.

Caught in a spiral of hate and revenge, Romeo and Juliet connect across enemy lines –  but can they break free of the bloodshed and find hope for a different future?

Expect all the drama and entertainment of our critically acclaimed 2024 production, directed by Globe Director of Education Lucy Cuthbertson, updated and refreshed for 2026.

Please note, this production is designed for all secondary students but will be most suitable for students in year 9 and above.
