Romeo and Juliet
A remixed tale of star-crossed lovers
How much would you risk for the person you love?
Forced apart by generations of hatred, young eyes meet across a South London dancefloor on a fateful night that will change their lives forever. Shakespeare’s most famous story is re-told through rap, rhythms, and beautiful harmonies. It’s 'Romeo and Juliet', but as you’ve never heard it before.
Put down your swords and pick up your mics, after all, the course of true love never did run smooth.
From the makers behind ‘Frankenstein: How to make a Monster’ and ‘Pied Piper the Hip Hop Family Musical’.

Remarkable Rhythm
One bench, two people, and five days.
Through music, movement, and mishap, two young people experience the difficulty and joy in connecting with those unlike themselves.
Rhythm is spontaneous and experiences life as movement; and all sound as music. Glas loves life smooth and stable; preferring things remain the same. When Rhythm and Glas meet at Bellevue Park they have the five days of half-term to see if their friendship is worth keeping, before they go back to their separate schools.
Will they find a way to create something remarkable and discover a rhythm that is theirs alone?
Remarkable Rhythm is a dance theatre show for young people 7-12 and their families. With integrated audio description by the two dancers, this show is accessible to audiences who are blind or partially sighted and the physical storyline is visually clear so allows D/deaf audiences the ability to also experience every show fully.
