As is now traditional at Shakespeare’s Globe, its outdoor programming gets underway with a truncated pre-season Shakespeare play aimed at schoolkids, but very much open to members of the public up for open-air theatre in March.
This year it’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ that gets the 90-minute treatment, directed by the Globe’s director of education Lucy Cuthbertson, in a production that relocates the tale of the feuding Montagues and Capulets to contemporary gang culture.
