Sport for Jove's Summer Season XI

Summer Season XI is here! This summer we are serving up one of Shakespeare's best-loved classics, Romeo & Juliet.

The existential crisis facing our world today, the product of a lack of practical leadership from our earth’s elders, has triggered a deafening chorus of ‘How dare you!’, screamed from the heart of our planet’s youth. And it’s not just about climate issues. What can children teach us in their struggle to be heard?

Our Artistic Director Damien Ryan brings us a furiously energetic new production of Romeo & Juliet, characterised by a true vision of today’s youth—the rarely seen innovation of actual teenagers playing the play’s children, all aged 14–18, and surrounded by an extraordinary cast of experienced players, will give this production an authenticity and honest rawness, danger and the genuine awkwardness of youth.
