Romeo & Juliet
by William Shakespeare
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.
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.
