A Rose by Another Name: Juliet and Romeo
St Thomas’ Balham
UNTIL Friday 13th August
A theatre-opera fusion suitable for all ages and a great introduction to opera for anyone.
Love and Romeo have been a pretty dysfunctional team for a long time. Rosaline… that didn't go so well. Maybe Juliet will be the one, if Love could only exercise some self-control and rein in her penchant for chaos. But desire and egotism are dangerous bedfellows: Juliet struggles desperately against powerful currents of coercion and manipulation. A noble passion to heal age-old rifts? Perhaps not.
Marginalia irreverently combine Shakespeare's timeless words with intoxicating melodies from Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi. Newly devised and fully staged for two singers and an actor, bringing you star-crossed lovers as never before.
£15 (full price), £10 (students), £5 (under 18s)
