Two older actors, former lovers, revisit Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet through live acting and a lost 1960s television version of the play.
Remember Romeo plays at the Liverpool Playhouse Theatre on Wednesday 10 March and Saturday 13 March 2027. It's a reimagining of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet told through the eyes of two older actors, former lovers who meet again after fifty years. She's living with memory loss, and he carries the memories she struggles to hold, leaving them with unfinished business and matters of the heart to resolve.
The staging blends live acting with film: a lost 1960s television version of Romeo and Juliet flickers back to life on the walls around them, starring the couple in their youth and making their bittersweet past inescapable. It's a moving exploration of love, memory, and the stories we cling to as everything else fades.
