Screening of Kenneth MacMillan's ballet Romeo and Juliet, set to Prokofiev's music, at the MK Gallery cinema.
MK Gallery is screening Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet on Sunday 30 May, in the gallery's cinema. It's a full-length ballet based on Shakespeare's play, set to Sergei Prokofiev's score, and it runs for 170 minutes — nearly three hours, so you'll want to clear the whole afternoon for it.
MacMillan's version takes the familiar story of the star-crossed lovers and stretches it into a complete work, with Prokofiev's music scoring the stolen romantic moments and the deadly feuds that drive the plot towards its inevitable, tragic end. It's a long production, and the cinema setting means you get to see the whole thing in one sitting rather than in snippets.
