Romeo & Juliet at the Arts Centre

 

Arts Centre

Old Town, Swindon

Wednesday 12 October 2016, 7.30pm

In many ways, Shakespeare’s timeless tale of `star-crossed lovers` is a study of loss of innocence set in an era when a young girl of marriageable age, was expected to conform to her father’s wishes. During the course of the play we see Juliet’s transformation from a naive, obedient young girl into a confident, self-willed adult.

 

Traffic of the Stage’s period production will show the colour and vitality of youth with its joyous intensity and passionate impulses. A controlling older generation undervalue the potency of youthful love and desire, and in seeking to repress their children’s emotional growth, they propel them into clandestine rebellion which has devastating consequences for all concerned.

 

Tickets: £14.25, Concessions £2.00 off
