The feud between Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her predecessor Alex Salmond has seen them likened to the warring families in Shakespeare’s Romeo And Juliet.
Former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell spoke about the “rather squalid” exchanges between the current SNP leader and Mr Salmond – who has now set up his own rival political party.
Sir Menzies said: “This business, it is a bit like Romeo And Juliet, if you remember the Montagues and the Capulets. Well we’ve got the Salmondettes and the Sturgeonistas.”
Sir Menzies Campbell said the feud shows politics are ‘in a bad shape’ (PA)

Stratford Festival outdoor summer season announced
Six plays and five cabarets will be performed at two canopies this summer from June to September By Glenn Sumi

This summer, Stratford will perform under canopies at the Festival Theatre (pictured) and the new Tom Patterson Theatre.
Six plays and five cabarets are on the bill for Stratford Festival’s 2021 outdoor season, to be performed – pending health precautions – under canopies starting in late June. All the works share the theme of metamorphosis, which the festival’s artistic director, Antoni Cimolino, says is significant.
“As butterflies shedding their cocoons, we are poised to emerge from this pandemic,” says Cimolino in a press release today.
JULIET Forster has cut it as a director of Romeo And Juliet many times. Now she has sliced Shakespeare s two the two hours traffic of our stage to 45 minutes, maybe 50, for CBeebies show tomorrow morning. I did joke about that at rehearsals because my previous production, at Blenheim Palace, ran to three hours and 15 minutes, says Juliet, York Theatre Royal s creative director. She had been lined up for the children s television production as long ago as December 2019. Anna Perowne, who has produced the performance, had newly taken over BBC Shakespeare, having worked previously for the Royal Shakespeare Company, says Juliet.
