Romeo and Juliet

New Statesman“Not yet reviewed”

The Independent“An outstanding evening...” The fights, by Terry King, are tremendous and the dangerous street-fighting mood is personified in Jonjo O'Neill's extraordinary blond Mercutio...

Financial Times“There is none of the extreme Gooldification we have come to expect...” Rupert Goold, feted (or, to some, notorious) for his radical reimaginings of the likes of The Tempest and Macbeth, stages a surprisingly straight version of the play...

Whatsonstage.com“Full of violent delights and is the product of great intellectual vigour...” Jonjo O'Neill as Mercutio is superb, as mercurial as his name implies and full of braggadocio, joie de vivre and verve; Joseph Arkley’s Tybalt an excellent counterpart, full of random rage; Noma Dumezweni is a splendid Nurse, darkly unpredictable..

Guardian“I can't recall as exciting a revival since Zeffirelli...” It's been interesting to see oldsters do the play in Bristol, but Goold's tremendous production reminds us that the play is an anthem for doomed youth...

The Stage“The lovers are perfectly cast...” Fires suddenly flame, hell beckons and solo voices sing the liturgy, and yet Goold extracts every ounce of humour and delight as well. It’s going to be the talk of the town...
