Romeo & Juliet - Duke of York's Theatre

I'm already envisaging the balcony scene out in the street somewhere .....

This is a Jamie Lloyd Company production ? It’s open to all the other directors out there to set up their own production companies, recruit big name stars, and book West End theatres, and then direct the plays themselves. But hardly any of them can, they have to wait to be employed by other people who’ve done all those things.

I'm sure it helped that, until a few days ago, Jamie Lloyd was employed by ATG, the multi-national theatre owner and producer.

All very well, but also announced today is that Les Dennis is doing Twelfth Night.

Doesn't Tom Holland have a reputation for plot spoilers with his films and gets told off for it.
So I wonder if there will be an interview embargo so that he doesn't give away too much of the storyline?

Plus Les Dennis’ stage credits are far more extensive and impressive than Tom Holland’s. I didn’t think the RSC made best use of LD when he was there fairly recently.

Timothee Chalamet. He’s getting his coconuts ready as I type this.

Now THAT'S more up my street 😁

That's not a stupid question! I mean, I expect it'll be the classic Shakespeare text, but I guess when Shakespeare is public domain and you can do anything with it... who knows?

I’ve kinda had my fill of Jamie Lloyd, but he does have an annoying habit of casting actors I’d really like to see.

But as ever, goes on sale when I’m in work, so will probably miss out.

The Whatsonstage article says: “The play features text editing by Nima Taleghani…”

Recognised the name, but couldn’t place it. He was in Cyrano and is the moody teacher in Heartstopper.
