Romeo & Juliet at the Victoria Baths, 29 September 2014

Last night ten of us went to Manchester’s beautiful and iconic Victoria Baths for a unique promenade performance of the greatest love story ever told, Romeo & Juliet.  The three atmospheric Edwardian swimming pools were transformed into a world where family loyalties, pride, faith and passion result in bitter tragedy.

The poor acoustics and Shakespearean English made the dialogue very difficult to follow but I think we all knew the story anyway.  It was a very unusual production and pleasing to see the Baths used in such a creative way.
