Seated in the upper gallery, both staff and students were captivated by the unique open-air experience of the Globe, with its immersive 'in-the-round' staging. The production brought Shakespeare’s tragedy vividly to life, not only on the main stage but through creative use of the space: Juliet’s balcony and bed were wheeled into the yard, placing key moments of the play right in the midst of the standing audience. 

Blending humour and heartache, the performance was enhanced by a lively Wild West theme that added a dynamic twist to the classic tale.

Students will begin studying Romeo and Juliet as part of their GCSE English course after the summer holidays, and this memorable visit provided an inspiring introduction to the text.
