This production is again set in the Cardiff community of Splott but is very different fare: a teenage love story inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, lighter and sweeter than its near namesake. The star-crossed lovers are dealing with hard-scrabble lives: Julie (Rosie Sheehy) is an aspiring astrophysicist whose working-class parents are desperate for her to get into Cambridge University. Romeo (Callum Scott Howells) is an out-of-work single father, caught between his baby and his alcoholic mother, struggling to buy nappies.
Spun as a romcom cum kitchen sink drama, there is plenty of cuteness and comic banter, along with Gavin and Stacey-style awkward encounters with each other’s parents. Hayley Grindle’s abstract set illuminates the skies that Julie seeks to study as a mobile constellation dangling above, which also references Shakespearean fate written in the stars.

The high school theatre AU continues apace!
Chapter Summary:
Rehearsals for Romeo & Juliet are going well, except for one thing, and it's driving Carrie crazy. "Do I smell or something? I'm just wondering what I did to make you like, keep room for the Holy Spirit during like, all of our scenes.” The answer definitely surprises her.
