Romeo and Juliet risk everything to be together. In defiance of their feuding families, they chase a future of joy and passion as violence erupts around them. Shot over 17 days during the pandemic, this bold new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare's romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way. Jessie Buckley (WILD ROSE, WOMEN TALKING, FINGERNAILS) and Josh O’Connor (THE CROWN, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY, LA CHIMERA) play Juliet and Romeo. The award-winning cast also includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati and Deborah Findlay.
