Shakespeare could not be more timely );
A BALMY evening in early summer by the banks of the River Thames.
Swans, geese, dappled sunlight and a bunch of actors who have put together a production of
Romeo and Juliet in a mere 60 hours.
This production, orchestrated by director Gavin Leigh, was performed before a live audience in the glorious grounds of Caversham Court and also live-streamed in support of the children’s charity Daisy’s Dream.
When Romeo, a Montague (Alec Watson) meets Juliet, a Capulet (Annie Hammond), it’s love at first sight but we are reminded that “they stumble that run fast” as this energetic performance plays out.
