With their families locked in a bitter feud, Romeo and Juliet's fate is sealed from their first encounter. With each step, Christopher Hampson reveals the complex and troubled relationships that exist between the warring families and their doomed children.
His choreography, innately musical and dramatically sustained throughout, brings tradition and tragedy into the 21st century. 2004 Laurence Olivier Award nominee - Best New Dance Production "This is thoroughbred ballet, steeped in classical tradition and deeply respectful of Prokofiev's genius score.
Hampson has danced to this score enough times to know that it's a gift to any choreographer. And he unwraps it with finesse - filling the stage with bold strokes of colour and pizzazz one minute, delicate romance the next." - The Scotsman
