This time, Verona tells its story...

Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet is a new Australian play written and created by Scott Jackson and Sorcha Breen. The original concept is by Scott Jackson and it brings to life a whole new perspective of this classic play. In this original work, find out more about Verona's townsfolk, discover new characters and how they have been impacted by our star cross'd lovers. This play is all about the parts you have never seen before in one of Shakespeare's classics.

Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet will take a famous line such as “Do you bite your thumb at us, Sir” and do a deep dive into the far-reaching consequences of one of classical theatre’s most ancient disputes. Theatregoers will get to see this new work outdoors on the grounds of St Kilda Southport Uniting Church in South Melbourne. The church is a formidable backdrop with its bluestone, trees and shrubbery to provide the perfect setting for this story to unfold.

Enjoy seeing live theatre in twilight and under the stars.
