Ireland's national ballet company present Shakespeare's tale of star crossed lovers with new choreography by Morgann Runacre-Temple.
Against a backdrop of ancient feuds and gang warfare, the ill-fated young couple fall instantly and hopelessly in love. But their families are bitter enemies, and in order to be together the two lovers must be prepared to risk everything...
Romeo and Juliet is a dazzling combination of passion and hatred, comedy and high tragedy, making it the perfect vehicle for the talents of choreographer Morgann Runacre-Temple who delighted audiences last year with her adaptation of Cinderella.
Morgann has been choreographing for Ballet Ireland since 2005, creating over eight works for the company including two full-length collaborations A Christmas Carol and Die Fledermaus with Artistic Director Gunther Falusy.
