Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet
This time, Verona tells its story...
Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet is a new Australian play written and created by Scott Jackson and Sorcha Breen. The original concept is by Scott Jackson and it brings to life a whole new perspective of this classic play. In this original work, find out more about Verona's townsfolk, discover new characters and how they have been impacted by our star cross'd lovers. This play is all about the parts you have never seen before in one of Shakespeare's classics.
Shakespeare-In-Between: Romeo & Juliet will take a famous line such as “Do you bite your thumb at us, Sir” and do a deep dive into the far-reaching consequences of one of classical theatre’s most ancient disputes. Theatregoers will get to see this new work outdoors on the grounds of St Kilda Southport Uniting Church in South Melbourne. The church is a formidable backdrop with its bluestone, trees and shrubbery to provide the perfect setting for this story to unfold.
Enjoy seeing live theatre in twilight and under the stars.

Fantastic idea to get Shakespeare into the backyard! Good play and enjoyable show. Thank you!
A very enjoyable show. Acting was excellent.
Great performers.
What a fun, imaginative and creative play. The actors were very talented playing effortlessly a mirrard of different roles. As it's set outside it created a magical atmosphere. Every one was very friendly. Highly recommend but remember to bring warm clothes and a blanket as it can for cold.
A fun show, lots of energy and laughs
Imaginative, moving and funny. Fabulous performances by 9 actors playing 37 diverse characters. Highly recommended.
Absolutely loved this production - funny, witty, fast moving with a surprise at every turn - The Bard himself would be impressed!!
