Merely Theatre

Merely Theatre's minimalist, gender-blind productions put an emphasis on accessibility and clear storytelling, bringing Shakespeare's words to vivid new life.

In Romeo & Juliet, Merely present young love in all its raw and savage beauty. The show drives through action-packed thrills and tender intimacy to crushing loss.

Lovers from feuding families wed in secret, but their plans are torn apart by bitter violence. A desperate attempt to reunite them goes awry, and their union falls apart with tragic consequences.

Five actors take on multiple roles to deliver the tale with the company's signature style of urgency, humour and clarity. A stirring, visceral theatrical experience.
