About the show
Romiet is a modern coda to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, asking what might have happened if the lovers had not died. Presented by Gazelle Theatre at the studio, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the show follows Juliet stumbling across a new-styled Romeo — who is now working as a drag queen. Can Juliet put her beliefs aside for the love of her life? Upbeat and contemporary, the show explores identity, love and second chances. Running 60 minutes, it is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A spirited reimagining that takes Shakespeare's most famous romance somewhere entirely unexpected. The drag queen twist gives the love story fresh stakes, and the show's upbeat tone makes it a fun, inclusive watch.
