What if Romeo and Juliet didnt end in tragedy"but in something messier, funnier, and unexpectedly romantic?In this witty, bilingual comedy, a British Shakespeare scholar and a visiting Mexican professor go head-to-head to rewrite the worlds most famous love story"by performing the entire play themselves. In 70 chaotic minutes.What starts as an academic debate explodes into theatrical anarchy, with chalkboards, sabotage, and PowerPoint-fueled passion. As English and Spanish collide, rivalry gives way to revelation"and maybe even love.Directed by acclaimed Mexican theatremaker Alonso Iiguez and written by award-winning Argentinian playwright Emiliano Dionisi, this international hit stars recent LAMDA grad Eduardo Zucchi in a high-energy farce thats toured from Buenos Aires to Mexico City.Romeo and Juliet: Out of Pocket is part clown show, part lecture, part slow-burn romance. Perfect for Shakespeare lovers, sceptics, and anyone whos ever fallen for their opposite.What if the ending youve always known... wasnt the whole story?

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
