Box Clever is proud to be bringing its touring production of ROMEO & JULIET to Blackfriars.

Shakespeare sets his exploration of young, romantic love, as bright as starlight, against the darkness of feuding families, street fights and, ultimately, death. This gripping adaptation is brought fully to life by our three actors.

Box Clever is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England based at The Blackfriars Theatre in Boston, Lincolnshire. At its core, the company is committed to making and touring original theatre to young people in schools nationally. Intrinsic to this commitment is the involvement of young people in the creative process for the benefit of both the young people and the artists. To this end, Company policy is to rehearse plays in residence in Lincolnshire schools and to launch the plays from theatre venues in the county.
