Fast-paced, 50-minute abridged version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for young audiences, part of Storyhouse's half-term children's programme.
Romeo and Juliet (For Kids) runs at Storyhouse from Saturday 24 to Friday 30 October, in the Garret Theatre. It's a fast-paced, abridged re-telling of Shakespeare's classic tale, developed as part of the WayWord Festival. The whole thing runs for around 50 minutes, so it's pitched as an introduction to Shakespeare for young audiences rather than a full-length production.
It's part of Storyhouse's half-term children's programme, a full week of shows on Hunter Street. If you're planning to make a day of it, there's plenty else on: Horrible Histories live with 3D effects, Aardman In Concert with the Wallace and Gromit studio's film music played live, and a Beano-themed Farshore Funny Fest. Between the two, you could easily string a few together over the break.
