Spoiler Alert: Romeo and Juliet are dead.
And they’re not the only ones.
A masterful adaptation from DTC. The perfect introduction to Shakespeare.- Lynn Walsh, Morning Star
But how did this happen and why?
This fresh, exciting Romeo & Juliet adaptation (from writer/director Ryan Philpott) is presented as part of DTC’s “Revision on Tour” and breathes new life and wit into Shakespeare’s classic tale of “two star-crossed lovers”.
Adapted & Directed by Ryan Philpott
Music by Paul Higgs

Princess Theatre, Torquay
The Princess Theatre first opened its doors on Wednesday 7 June 1961. Top of the bill on the opening night were the late, great Tommy Cooper and the legendary Morecombe & Wise. In 1963 The Beatles appeared live on stage singing the then newly released single “She Loves You” causing some hysteria in the town!
The Princess Theatre is South Devon’s largest theatre with a seating capacity of 1,491. Big musical productions that have thrilled our audiences include Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Chicago, Starlight Express, Rocky Horror, Cats, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Icons of the stage and screen Sir Roger Moore, Elaine Page, Joan Collins and the beloved Joan Rivers, have also graced our stage. Comedians Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr and Dawn French have performed here too and chart toppers Mumford & Sons, Jamie Cullum and Ronan Keating have included the theatre on their UK tours.
