ROMEO AND JULIET AT PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL



Summer means we can enjoy some fabulous outdoors theatre shows and you really can't beat Peterborough Cathedral as a backdrop, or one of Shakespeare's finest tales.


The Lord Chamberlain's Men invite you to join them for an outdoor performance of the timeless and classic love story, Romeo and Juliet.


With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare himself TLCM present this great play as he first saw it, in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.



Packed with memorable poetry, devastating twists and turns, and burning passion this is without doubt the greatest love story ever told.


A play about the power of true love, the extraordinary sacrifices we make for it and the futility and devastating consequences of entrenched conflict.


Acclaimed for their stylish and accessible productions The Lord Chamberlain’s Men have been wowing audiences throughout the country and internationally in their trademark style since 2004.


Continually raising the bar for standards in open air theatre they have gone from strength to strength.


Artistic Director and Producer, Peter Stickney, said, “Seeing a production from The Lord Chamberlain’s Men is a unique experience. Sitting under the same stars that Shakespeare did and seeing his plays performed as he first saw them – with an all male cast, in the open air and with Elizabethan costume, music and dance – is intoxicating. The productions are clear, bold and accessible without being dumbed down in anyway.



"I strongly believe that seeing one of Shakespeare’s plays shouldn’t be an 'elite sport' and I hope that the style of our shows, our consistently reasonable ticket prices, and the sense of welcome you get at our performances enhance that feeling.


"If you’ve ever thought that Shakespeare isn’t for you, give one of our shows a try and hopefully we will change your mind!”


So take a chair and a picnic and, and settle down on Wednesday July 12 at 7pm to be entertained outside on the Cathedral Green.


Tickets are from £10 to £18 via the cathedral website www.peterborough-cathedral.org.uk/events
