THE greatest love story of all time, Romeo And Juliet will be the next play at the Bolton Octagon from February 3 to March 5.
Verona is a city ripped apart by hatred and mistrust. Two powerful and wealthy families, both on the wrong side of the law, have been locked in conflict for generations. The bitter dispute has already taken the lives of countless young people, and now their uneasy truce looks like it could break into widespread violence at any moment.
But in the midst of the conflict, Romeo and Juliet will risk everything to cross the family divide for the sake of love.
Their youthful passion brings hope, and the possibility of ending the age-old war.
The play will be directed by the Octagon’s artistic director David Thacker, who won an Olivier award for his production of Shakespeare’s Pericles at the RSC.
* Romeo & Juliet is at Bolton Octagon from Thursday, February 3 to March 5. Tickets are available now from octagonbolton.co.uk or by ringing 01204 520661.
