                     Romeo and Juliet

 

                           by William Shakespeare

 

Set design Bryan Hands   Direction Harry Meacher     Costume Andrew McRobb

 

                                   

                ` My child is yet a stranger in the world

                 She hath not seen the change of fourteen years.

                                    Let two more summers wither in their pride

                                    Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.`

 

In many ways Shakespeare’s timeless tale of `star-crossed lovers` is a study of loss of innocence set in an era when a young girl of marriageable age, was expected to conform with her father’s wishes. During the course of the play we see how love transforms an inexperienced, obedient girl into a spirited, vibrant young woman.

 

Traffic of the Stage’s period production will show the colour and vitality of youth with its joyous intensity and passionate impulses. A controlling older generation

undervalue the potency of youthful love and desire, and in seeking to control their children’s lives, they propel them into clandestine rebellion which has devastating consequences for all concerned.
