'Romeo & Juliet'

venues

Elvaston Castle & Minack

Dates

4th - 8h July & 7th - 11th August 1995

Director

Alicia Petty

In 1995 we presented Alicia Petty's production of 'Romeo & Juliet' at Elvaston Castle and the Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, Cornwall.

This show was full of the drama and romance of this legendary tragedy and had a swashbuckling style all its own. David Muir and Natalie Lesser made for a compelling and tender central couple and the whole cast brought terrific life and verve to the timeless tale of doomed love.

'Romeo & Juliet' proved to be another popular production at the Minack and allowed us to make good use of that unique and wonderful theatre's aptly named 'Juliet Balcony'!
