ROMEO & JULIET (National Theatre)
A bold new film bringing Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy to life in an entirely new way, filmed backstage at the National Theatre in 2021.
SYNOPSIS
Romeo and Juliet risk everything to be together. In defiance of their feuding families, they chase a future of joy and passion as violence erupts around them.
This bold new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way. Shot over seventeen days during the global pandemic and originally only available to UK audiences, Romeo & Juliet is a riveting blend of live theater and film.
Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Judy) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country) play Juliet and Romeo. The award-winning cast includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati, Deborah Findlay.
