LONDON, 11 June – Flabbergast Theatre’s new version of Romeo and Juliet opened at Wilton’s Music Hall and left the audience amazed. The show, which runs until 21 June, is full of powerful acting, emotional storytelling, and a bold take on Shakespeare’s famous love story.
After their hit A Midsummer Night’s Dream last year, Flabbergast returns with a fresh and unusual style. This time, they’ve turned Romeo and Juliet into a mix of movement, drama, and dreamlike scenes.
The actors use Shakespeare’s words along with exciting physical theatre, clowning, masks, and live music. The story is told in a raw and intense way that feels both modern and deeply emotional.
From the start, the performance grabs your attention. The actors move together like one body, and their energy fills the stage with passion, danger, and sadness. Comedy and tragedy blend as a group of clowns guide the audience through a world that feels like a dream—or a nightmare.
The stage and costumes have a natural, mystical look, like something out of a forest fairy tale. The show doesn’t just tell the story of Romeo and Juliet—it brings it to life.
Flabbergast Theatre, started in 2010, is known for making Shakespeare exciting and new. Their shows are physical, emotional, and easy to connect with—even for people new to Shakespeare.
Romeo and Juliet will be performed at Wilton’s Music Hall until 21 June. If you’re looking for a show that’s wild, beautiful, and unforgettable, this is not to be missed.
