Elaina Evans
"Achingly moving and superbly staged"
Review from Derby Evening Telegraph
This spectacular outdoor production was staged within the craft village at Markeaton Park which made for a wonderful backdrop to a very modern and stylish Verona. The cast looked sharp in beautiful costumes and the characters, re-imagined as members of rival fashion houses, were pursued by reporters and paparazzi as the story unfolded.
Jack Bamford and Ami-Lou Sharpe were magnetic as the legendary doomed lovers and brought the tragedy to life with a remarkable intimacy given the scale of the production and setting.
