Romeo and Juliet: Out of Pocket

at The Courtyard Theatre, London

Add to your event list

What if Romeo and Juliet didn't end in tragedy - but in something messier, funnier, and unexpectedly romantic? In this witty, bilingual comedy, a British Shakespeare scholar and a visiting Mexican professor go head-to-head to rewrite the world's most famous love story - by performing the entire play themselves. In 70 chaotic minutes.

What starts as an academic debate explodes into theatrical anarchy, with chalkboards, sabotage, and PowerPoint-fueled passion. As English and Spanish collide, rivalry gives way to revelation - and maybe even love.

Perfect for Shakespeare lovers, sceptics, and anyone who's ever fallen for their opposite. What if the ending you've always known... wasn't the whole story?
