Auckland Theatre Company have announced their 2025 Season featuring a captivating range of ideas and voices coming to Auckland next year!
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet comes to the ASB Waterfront Theatre from 15 July – 9 August 2025.
William Shakespeare’s tale of passion and heartbreak is recast as a fast-paced thriller in this large-scale production of Romeo and Juliet, directed by the co-director of 2023’s runaway hit King Lear, Benjamin Kilby-Henson. Theo Dāvid (Shortland Street) and Phoebe McKellar (One Lane Bridge) make their Auckland Theatre Company debuts as the star-crossed lovers in a Missoni and Pucci-inspired take on 1960s’ Italy, supported by a stellar cast including Bronwyn Bradley, Miriama McDowell and Beatriz Romilly.
As potent today as it was when written more than four centuries ago, this tragedy celebrates the triumph of love over hate – but at what cost?
