Lily James, Richard Madden and Derek Jacobi star in the fourth show of the acclaimed Kenneth Branagh Season at the Garrick.

Romeo and Juliet is considered to be one of the greatest and most tragic love stories of all time as well as one of Shakespeare’s finest works. Following the tale of two feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets, Romeo and Juliet is the ultimate romantic story. A young and zealous Montague, Romeo, meets the beautiful young Juliet by chance at a masquerade ball, causing the pair to fall in love. However the family feuds begin to weigh down on the pair, as Juliet’s hot-headed Capulet cousin is out for Montague blood and Romeo is forced to take action. As the divide tears the two apart, there are disastrous consequences for themselves and their families.
