Romeo and Juliet
Kenneth Branagh casts the stars of his recent live action Cinderella movie Lily James and Richard Madden in Shakespeare’s most tragic love story, as part of a newly announced season of plays at the Garrick Theatre. One of Shakespeare’s earliest works, Romeo and Juliet tells the story of the son and daughter of two feuding families, the Montagues and Capulets, who fall madly in love. Knowing their families will forbid their relationship, they are married in secret. However when Romeo is banished for killing Juliet’s cousin in a duel, the lovers are set on a course that will lead to their famously tragic conclusion. Lily James shot to fame playing Lady Rose in ITV’s Downton Abbey, whilst Richard Madden is best known for starring as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones. A new production from master Shakespeare director Kenneth Branagh is one not to be missed.
