About

First Taste. First Touch. First Love. First Kiss.

In modern Verona, violence erupts between the Montagues and Capulets with tragic consequences. With the death of their children, the citizens come together and through song, movements and story examine how they came to such tragedy.

This production fused devised creation, physical theatre practices and First Folio Text.
