Creation Theatre’s rehearsed reading of Romio und Julieta in English translation

Online, May 6, 2021 -

Romeo and Juliet, but not as we know it…

From the 1590s onwards travelling players took various plays from the London stage with them to Northern Europe, transforming them to make them comprehensible to local audiences. Among these plays was Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, which was adapted into German and which comes down to us in a seventeenth-century manuscript copy as Romio und Julieta.

Creation Theatre will perform an online rehearsed reading of Romio und Julieta based on a new English translation of the play by Lukas Erne and Kareen Seidler, published by Arden Shakespeare. The event will take place on Thursday 6th May, 7:30pm. Free tickets are available here.
