Romeo and Juliet (Shoreham Wordfest)
Producer: Philippa Hammond
Director: Thomas Everchild

This charming version of the classic teenage romance offers fine characterisation, and lots of fun besides …

This production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet will not fail to charm. Every actor gets inside the skin of their character, and their zest for life is evident from the first scene of this love story set in Verona…

Playing Juliet, Olivia Sewell has great presence and passion … sincere and courageous …

John Black is convincingly earnest as Romeo, always love struck, consumed by Cupid’s arrows to the heart …

The high standard of acting is supported by excellent direction from Thomas Everchild …

I recommend this production of Romeo and Juliet without reservation, and I will look out for further productions by Afterthought Theatre. It’s professional, true to the original text, and fun for all involved. Expect a teenage romance and you won’t be disappointed.
