It is what it is, the course of true love never did run smooth... In this summer’s Athenian villa, a bombshell has been dropped: the public have voted to split up the hottest couple in the game. Behind the scenes there’s dissent amongst the crew with the presenters’ stormy relationship on the rocks and the producers picking sides. Into this firepit of feelings and factions, the producers break their boundaries and introduce their own brand of magic that will see more sparks fly than your typical return from Casa Amor.

Why see this show?

Shakespeare's most chaotic love story gets a reality TV makeover that feels unexpectedly natural. A clever and fun adaptation that should work well for audiences who know the original and those who don't.
