INTERVIEW
ELLIOTT KINGSLEY
Q & A
The story of Romeo and Juliet is well known, so is there anything about this production that will shock or intrigue the audience?
I don’t want to spoil too much about the production but in this version of the story there are a lot of characters who have been cut, others who’ve grown in prominence; and then there are the gender swaps. The setting of the story isn’t the traditional ruff and tights production, it’s a contemporary telling.
What excites you most about the role of Julius and can you tell us a bit about how you’ll be playing the character?
