Romeo & Juliet, with Karen Fishwick and Bally Gill as the leads, arrives at the Barbican as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s London residency. Although written over four centuries ago, this production feels chillingly relevant.

BLUSH – Soho Theatre

In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Daniel Perks20th May 2017Leave a Comment
