Romeo & Juliet - Duke of York's Theatre

I would pay a lot of money to see a Jamie Lloyd version of Duchess of Malfi

But her death scene was the best, in the three productions of the play I've seen, Eleanor Bron and Harriet Walter being the Duchess in the other two.

I saw those three and also Janet McTeer, Gemma Arterton, Lydia Wilson and Aisling O'Sullivan. Hard to say which was the best as they all had some merit - probably the Eleanor Bron one because Ian McKellen was very good in it. 

I had the opportunity to see two productions of Cyrano directed by Jamie Lloyd.  One was at the Roundabout theatre in NYC starring Douglas Hodge, and the second was when he brought the James McAvoy production to BAM. The first production was very traditional, period sets, a prosthetic nose, period costumes, the works. While Hodge was a hurricane, the play did not affect me one iota. The second one, where the period, costumes, and nose had been stripped away, so that the focus was on the words, Martin Crimp's translation / adaptation, and the character relationships was far supieror.  What some people here are referring to as "a house style," that is lazy, or that Lloyd does because he thinks "it looks cool," is to me a refreshing focus on what the plays actually are, which is the text and the relationships between the characters. I feel Lloyd's emphasis on character relationships was apparent in The Seagull as well, which I thought was the best Seagull I'd seen. Watching Daniel Monk's face fall and heart break as Emilia Clarke's Nina becomes star struck by the (for once) much younger than Arkadina Trigorin of Tom Rhys Harries IS Chekhov's play.  The same razor focus on language and relationships was seen in his production of Betrayal. So for me the trajectory of Lloyd's work has been about a clearing away of non essentials.  I agree with what Lloyd's productions suggest, that the plays are the words, and anything that is in their way must be excised.

How was the sound?

Just how much video is used in this?

Lol.

Never was a story of more woe,
than having not yet seen Lloyd's Romeo.

So there’s video for the entirety of the show?

Lots of new tickets available for 90 right now!

Well, it is a view of roller-painted chipboard and a guy who can't act well on stage, in a play we all know.

I guess part of what Jamie Lloyd does is pragmatically create a sense of FOMO, and builds release tranches around that. Clever stuff.

It's really not violent at all but it depends how old your daughter is.  There's a lot of fake blood but not a huge amount of physical violence.  It's more just a tense atmosphere throughout with bright lights, loud noises and of course dark themes.  No problem for 12+ in my opinion.
