Words by Natalya Sareen-Kadach Contemporary, urban energy meets the melancholic tragedy that is Shakespeare’s ÔÇÿRomeo and JulietÔÇÖ in the RSCÔÇÖs latest interpretation at CardiffÔÇÖs New Theatre.

However, on a larger scale the work explores broader concepts such … Continue reading Review | Bummer and Lazarus
