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.
This new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way.
The award-winning cast includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati and Deborah Findlay.

Fisayo IS SO POWERFUL as Mercutio. But also can we appreciate at 0:58 you can see each and every emotion changing on Josh o'connor's face as Romeo still is concerned about the fate as the music changes.
What a well made adaptation.
I agree, this performance is powerful. I can’t wait to see the full play😍
@@puppyangel4346 I did! You can still catch it now on PBS available till 23rd. It was one of the best things I have ever watched...pure gold. I have rewatched it so many times since...absolutely mesmerizing. Totally worth it.

Dude!! That guy's physicality is dope! No one can call this man a talking head.
His physicality legitimately made it easier for me to understand what he was talking about. I adore his performance.
what a mercutio- i feel a fresh love that pivots around this one
Fisayo is incredible. So much energy.
brilliant, magnetic. Thank you 🙏🏻 for this adaptation
They were so good ❤❤
Play really are meant to be seen not read that is for sure. I adore this. That was one each of a performance.
Mercutio is fruitier than me, and that is SAYING SOMETHING
Fruitier than a share size skittles bag. Taste the rainbow
Oh he is in this play, he so is
HEY ITS MISTER AJAYI!!! He plays a major shipper in this life too! Mercutio of The Prince of Verona's kin!!!
Is Mercutio Mr. Ajayi from Heartstopper?
YO No wonder he looks familiar when i watched this in class
What a strange atmosphere for this scene. It's not a march to the Somme. They are heading to a party to have fun.
Well yes, but but Romeo is wary of going in the first place and uncertain of weather or not he should attend and Mercutio’s speech isn’t in relation to the party, it’s in regard to Romeo’s dream. The speech essentially functions as an extended pun to quip back at Romeo, but then Mercutio kinda gets lost in his own world, like he tends to do, that’s why Benvolio tries to lighten the mood
@@jadenchimelis9857 Mercutio getting lost in his own thoughts is a standard interpretation of the speech which almost never works. Why? There's no truth in that. No one half sober or sane gets lost in their own thoughts. Shakespeare gives direction in the scene, but it it is unfortunately typically ignored. The indisputable given is that the friends are going to a party. Just before the speech Mercutio asks for a mask, "A visor for a visor." Romeo asks for a torch -- twice. It's plain from this stage business that Mercutio has taken charge of dividing up masks, costumes, and the like. The different personages he mentions in the speech don't just come out of the air or his thoughts -- a soldier, a maid, Cupid, an alderman, a courtier, lovers, a lady, etc. -- they come from the numerous masks and bits of costumes he's unveiling. It's as clear as is the summer's sun. : ) All that is a lot more active and interesting than someone getting lost in their own thoughts. Five people die in the play. None kick the bucket before this scene, yet it looks and feels like they are in a crypt. It looks like the final scene minus a dead Tybalt. Cheers.
I thought that too as well. I love the acting, but I always pictured them as rowdy young men heading to a party, on the street making a ruckus, not leaning on walls and half-whispering. It feels too....serious?
Anyone here crying because of Bare: A Pop Opera?
Hi, YES. I'm sad now :(
We’re they about to kiss? 😳
OMG this is perfect
Thank you so much :) We're streaming the film worldwide except in Australia on ntatome.com.
@@NationalTheatre OMG thank you for mentioning! I absolutely want to watch!!!
@@GavrielAbrahams I made a little typo on the link!! It's ntathome.com - or google National Theatre at Home. Enjoy :)
Where can ı watch this adaptation? I'm not living in the UK.
PBS on April 23rd in America
@@kelleymasters1522 ı live in Turkey:)
So classic a scene
perfect
Besides the cuts (why on earth they have to do this?) this guy is good, but light years away from that Mercutio that John McEnery wonderfully made for Zaffirelli's film.
Imho, Mercutio lacks the fun in his speech. He has to lovingly mock Romeo here, but this rather sounds like an intervention, and I think this is a missed opportunity.
I'm from Israel and I want to see it - do I have the option to purchase it or... I don't know... Watch it in any platform?
Here
@@sweetprince6474 where?
@@shakedkislev4800 I think It will be removed later so click it quick!
Vpn
Ah ah ah ah
Akinade is great, what a pity he gets to utter half of the speech only! Such a botched version! National Theatre really! The oetry and fiery imagination are amputated and it is all the more regrettable since the actor is excellent. Frustrating
So true! How could anyone even think of cutting lines from this incomparable speech! The omissions were startling and disappointing. Who can ever forget, having once heard it, "this is that very Mab that plats the manes of horses in the night, and bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs, which once untangled much misfortune bodes"!!!!
Why cut the great speech in half? What a waste!
1:11 did you not follow the script for that bit.
what did they change?
@@pandaitis4157 He should have said you talk of dreams.
@@matthewravenscroft1999 I believe "I talk of dreams" is the original Shakespeare
@@christinaferrero5010 yes correct they followed the script for most of it and they cut a few bits out. I have been studying it.
@@professorerudite I know.
he is precise but it seems to lack Mercutio's mocking attitude, probably a director's choice
How can I watch this from Australia?
You can't. You have to be in the kingdom for that.
@@thomas_hobbs1453 it will be available on pbs in the us April 23 according to the guardian.
