Hull Truck Theatre's production of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, with a Pay What You Can performance on 7 April and several accessible shows.
Hull Truck Theatre is bringing Romeo & Juliet to Stage 1 this spring, running from Wednesday 7 April to Saturday 24 April 2027. It's a joint production between Hull Truck, Octagon Theatre Bolton and Derby Theatre, so it's a shared effort across three venues rather than a one-off for us.
It's the story you know: the ancient feud between the Montagues and Capulets that turns the streets violent, and Romeo and Juliet meeting by chance at a party and falling deeply, dangerously in love in a single night. From there, it's the usual descent — duels, exile and the fatal misunderstandings that drive it toward the end. The production is framed as one that looks at the beauty of young love alongside the devastating cost of endless conflict.
There's a fair bit to work around if you're planning your visit. The run opens with a Pay What You Can performance on 7 April, and there are group discounts for six or more. It's also a production with a lot of accessible options: relaxed performances, BSL interpretation with a schools Q&A, open captioning, and audio description with a touch tour. It's recommended for ages 12+, and anyone under 14 needs to be accompanied by an adult.
