It’s been said before that (with reference to trekking up to Hornchurch on the District line) it’s a few stops beyond Barking, and this borderline anarchic production only underlines what unexpected treasures a Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production can deliver. Barry (David Nellist) and Sharon (Joanne Seymour) set about clearing up their front room, with a camera already set up. Having run out of things to do across the various lockdowns, a homemade truncated version of
Romeo and Juliet is what they have decided to do. Their nephew Alex (Jack Scannell-Wood) is studying the play at school, and as they are unable to take him to the theatre to see the show, they’ve come up with their own version of it.
