We are putting the SHAKE! back into Shakespeare with love’s greatest tragedy set amongst the sounds and street styles of Swinging London circa 1966. 

Auditions for - Season 2 - Romeo & Juliet
Season 2 - General Information
Romeo and Juliet will be staged as part of a rep. season in conjunction with the Crucible (note performers will not be performing in both shows). Both shows will be touring to schools, followed by an in-theatre season at Studio 1, Northcote Town Hall.

Schools Tours: Monday April 27 – Friday May 8
In-theatre season: Tuesday May 12 – Saturday May 23

Rehearsals will begin on March 1 and span over an 8 week period, two nights per week, plus one day on weekends.

The payment is on a profit share basis, but the bookings we have already secured have put us into profit in pre-production, so combined with door sale profits, we are already in a position to secure payments for all performers and production staff.

All auditionees should bring 2 copies of their CV and Headshot (1 for the director and 1 for the Eagle's Nest file).
