‘Know that your story matters’
Joyously uproarious, totally devastating, horribly real. This is Shakespeare for today. Parents take your teenagers, teenagers take your parents to this blindingly brilliant production of Romeo and Juliet dir @OlaInce @The_Globe

Verona is sick. Its structures broken. Its citizens desperate. When a system favours the few, the many are left with nothing.
Amidst the violence, bloodshed, fear and unrest, two teenagers find relief in each other. But will love be enough to save them?

South Asian representation in theatre would be nice. This is something I hardly see, and to be frank, it’s very upsetting. If we’re gonna pave the way for ethnic minorities to be included in this industry, we need to do it for all. Please.
