“Did my heart love til now?”
Two families, two languages and a young couple who are prepared to risk it all.
Profound passion meets total chaos, as a clashing society is pushed to the brink and changes love’s course forever.
This is a new exploration of the famous tragic love story, placing the violent feud between the Montagues and Capulets in bilingual Wales.
Starring Steffan Cennydd and Annes Elwy under Steffan Donnelly's direction, this ground-breaking production will weave together Welsh and English, exploring Welsh identity and offering a new perspective on Shakespeare’s timeless play.
In association with Shakespeare's Globe.
Set to open at Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre on 29 September, the production will tour venues across Wales ahead of a limited run at the Globe’s Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London. The Welsh tour dates are available below - the dates for the London run will be announced soon.
Age Guidance: 12+
