A spectacular site-specific production of Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo And Juliet.

The production, part-promenade and part-seated, takes place at three
locations in the baths, allowing the audience to get very close to the action. This gives audience members a chance to experience the haunting design by acclaimed designer Ti Green, whose work on Orlando at the Royal Exchange Theatre this year drew much admiration. Not only that, one of the baths’ three pools is filled with 86,000 gallons of water.

Romeo is played by Alex Felton, who comes to Manchester fresh from
playing Lysander in the Barbican's world tour of A Midsummer Night's Dream,
while Sara Vickers, who last appeared in the city in the Royal Exchange
Theatre's production of Ibsen's The Lady From The Sea, and was recently
seen as Joan Thursday in ITV's top-rated Inspector Morse spin-off Endeavour, takes on the role of Juliet.
