This summer, Miracle Theatre Company tours a fresh adaptation of Shakespeare’s timeless love story, Romeo & Juliet, to over 50 venues across south west England and Wales, from 2 June to 30 August. Including Wednesday 16th June at Bude Castle.

But this is no ordinary retelling of a classic tale. Known for its richly inventive and physical theatre, Miracle creates a totally original world where senses soar and humour is found in unexpected places.

Miracle’s lovers inhabit a war-torn place where society is fiercely divided and everyone around them is blinded by conflict and hatred. “In this play Shakespeare describes the experience of first love with such accuracy, warmth and gentle humour that it rings as unbearably true today as it did 400 years ago,” says director Bill Scott. “At the same time there is no escaping the ironic view of human nature which Shakespeare achieves so effectively by setting his love story in a society traumatised by fear and loathing. Miracle’s challenge is to squeeze comedy and tragedy out of this story in equal measure.”
