Exeter Northcott returns to Rougemont Gardens this summer for its annual outdoor Shakespeare spectacular, Romeo & Juliet. The production is a fantastical new staging of Shakespeare’s much-loved classic, taking full advantage of the spectacular setting.

The show is directed by Kate Saxon, who is relishing the chance to stage the play outdoors. She says, “we have been granted a wealth of evocative space to inspire us in Rougemont Gardens. Rather than use a set that may as well be indoors in a traditional theatre space, we chose to transport the Montagues and Capulets to be reborn here, to live outdoors, re-imagined in the parkland.”

This year, the show will be staged uncovered. The stage has been expanded, and a more dynamic performance is offered with actors moving on walkways throughout the audience. With thrilling fight scenes and compelling movement, the production makes the most of this unique space.

In the event of bad weather, Exeter Northcott is offering a comprehensive exchange policy allowing ticket holders to exchange for another performance.

The production stars Liam Bergin as Romeo and Matti Houghton as Juliet.

For tickets, contact the Exeter Nortchott Box Office on 01392 493493 or visit Exeter Tickets, Dix's Field.

Exeter Northcott’s open-air productions have a reputation for being action-packed and very accessible for both seasoned Shakespeare fans and newcomers alike.
