Our unflinching take on “Romeo and Juliet”, in which the action was transported to the 1984 miners’ strike, received a host of 5 and 4 star reviews and toured the UK October – November, 2015.
Selected venues include: Theatre Severn, Loughborough Town Hall and Broadway Theatre, Barking.
Immersion Theatre proudly presents their Autumn 2015 UK tour, an unforgettable adaptation of William Shakespeare’s iconic, Romeo & Juliet. Boldly relocating the action to 1980’s England and inspired by the brutality and solidarity of the miners’ strike, this tragic story of forbidden love and bitter rivalry is brought to life in a gritty, visceral and highly accessible spectacle infused with heart-break, danger and comedy perfect for both, the seasoned theatre-goer and budding literary enthusiast.
