NT’s contemporary Romeo and Julie is enjoyable but doesn’t realise potential – review
We’re big fans of the National Theatre, and we’re always keen to see what they’re programming in their Dorfman Theatre space (the smallest of the three venues they have) as we’ve frequently seen exciting new works premiere there. Romeo and Julie, a brand new play by Gary Owen and starring It’s A Sin’s Callum Scott Howells opposite Rosie Sheehy in the lead roles, seems an intriguing prospect; a contemporary take on Shakespeare’s classic play with a modern twist focusing on timely issues such as class and social mobility.
