Juliet & Romeo

Lost Dog's dance-theatre duet imagines Romeo and Juliet as 40-somethings confronting midlife, directed by Ben Duke.

Lost Dog's Juliet & Romeo is a blend of dance, theatre and comedy that imagines the famous lovers survived and are now in their forties, haunted by their teenage selves and the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love. They decide to confront their struggles by putting on a performance about themselves, an idea their therapist called terrible. Directed by Ben Duke, the piece explores cultural obsession with youth and issues with longevity. Running time is 1 hour 15 minutes, ages 13+, with a post-show discussion after the Friday performance.
