“This, by his voice, should be a Montague… Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, to strike him dead I hold it not a sin.” Verona Estate, Belfast, June 2025

Bright Umbrella presents a Romeo and Juliet for modern times. Hatred of foreigners and strangers runs deep. Can the love between two young people bury their parents’ strife?

Shakespeare’s original text unaltered, abridged to 70 minutes. A perfect production for schools studying Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet.

Later this year, Bright Umbrella steps out of The Sanctuary Theatre, East Belfast, as its home venue undergoes restoration and development work. During this time, the company will bring its shows exclusively to the Grand Opera House Studio.

Post-show Q & A

Following the Thursday 11 February show, there will be a 15 minute interval followed by a free Director’s talk on the background to the play and a Q&A with the cast.
