About Beginners Please Presents 'Romeo & Juliet' at the Trafalgar Theatre in London
Romeo & Juliet has been reimagined countless times, but never like this. Set in the London Borough of Verona, this production blends Shakespeare’s original text with a gritty, contemporary setting to explore themes of family conflict, forbidden love, and street violence.
This is the inaugural production from Beginners Please, Trafalgar Theatre’s new community outreach programme. The cast features amateur actors whose lives have been directly impacted by knife crime, bringing raw authenticity and emotional depth to the stage.
More than just a performance, this is a platform for unheard voices and a call for change.
It’s Shakespeare with the urgency of today.
