The Duke’s Theatre Company presents a bold, vibrant reimagining of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy at Brighton Open Air Theatre.
If you are looking for plans as we head into the warmer months, The Duke’s Theatre Company is bringing a new production of Romeo & Juliet to the Brighton Open Air Theatre. It is a familiar story, but this version is directed by Joseph Pitcher, who has previously worked on productions like Gypsy and the 2025 staging of Macbeth. The show also features original music composed by Rob Millett, which will be integrated into the performance.

The Brighton Open Air Theatre, or BOAT as it is often called, provides the setting for these performances. The schedule for this production is set for the end of May 2026. You can catch the show on Friday, May 29th at 19:00, Saturday, May 30th at 19:00, and Sunday, May 31st at 14:00. There is some mention of an additional matinee performance on Friday, May 29th at 14:00, so it is worth double-checking the official calendar if you are planning your weekend around that specific time slot.
Regarding the logistics, tickets are priced at ÂŁ21.50 for concessions and ÂŁ23.00 for standard entry. It is worth noting that these prices can fluctuate slightly depending on the day, so the final cost might vary when you go to book. The production is open to the general public, and given the venue's outdoor nature, it is the kind of event that relies on the weather, which is something to keep in mind when planning your visit to the theatre.
