  • Romeo & Juliet was filmed on a single stage at the National Theatre over seventeen days during a global pandemic. It's in select cinemas for one night only in the UK and Ireland on 28 Sep: www.ntlive.com/
    Watch now Sky and NOW in the UK & Ireland and PBS in the USA. We're looking at ways to take the film to more of you around the world.
    Our new film of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy, in which desire, dreams and destiny collide, brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre. Here we go behind the scenes with the cast and creative team to see how they made it. It was made possible by support we received from people like you.
    Romeo & Juliet premiered for free on 9pm Sunday 4 April 2021 on Sky Arts (UK) and 9pm Friday 23 April 2021 on PBS (US).
    ---
    Romeo and Juliet risk everything to be together. In defiance of their feuding families, they chase a future of joy and passion as violence erupts around them.
    Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Judy) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country) play Juliet and Romeo. The award-winning cast includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati, Deborah Findlay.
    Presented by Sky Arts, PBS Great Performances and No Guarantees, Romeo & Juliet is produced by the National Theatre, in association with Sabel Productions and Cuba Pictures.
    Filming of Romeo & Juliet in the Lyttelton theatre was made possible by Graham and Joanna Barker, and Leila Maw Straus.
    With additional support from Monica Gerard-Sharp and Ali Wambold, and Shawn M. Donnelley and Christopher M. Kelly.

    Thank you National Theatre!!! This is also so wonderful for those of us who don't live in the UK (I'm in Australia) & who wish dearly that we could see some of the absolutely brilliant stage productions over there!! I love the occasional National Theatre Live cinema releases that we occasionally get in our movie theatres, but your Romeo & Juliet production is a brand new, amazing way of bringing wonderful live theatre to those of us who cannot attend in person. Thank you once again!!!

    How fitting and wonderful it is for the theatre to no longer be 'on autopilot', bravely venturing forth. Klpac (Malaysia) went on a very similar journey with the theatre+film Unity (1918) this year. The parallels, especially on the creative side, are heartwarming. Artists everywhere making magic out of scarcity. That for me is the wonder of theatre.

    One point. On stage it always easier to accept older actors playing the teen lovers - on film it can be a major challenge for an audience. Josh and Jessie are both in their 30's - so that's a big obstacle to overcome.

    stellar cast, fantastic performances but in my opinion too heavy handed with the cuts. i get it was an adaption for TV under tight restricions and constraints but to cut such legendary speeches as well as so much of the development of romeo and juliets relationship made it feel rushed. otherwise wonderful

  • @LarchmontLady

    This was horrible. The actors just read their lines with no emotion. The narrator did a better job. The Capulet Masked Ball was a disaster. I had to shut it off. Can the NT do anything right ⁉️🤔
