Summary
In the world's most celebrated and lyrical love story, the sublime devotion of two young lovers transcends their earthly fate.
The noble Veronese houses of Montague and Capulet are locked in a bitter feud. When Romeo (a Montague) and Juliet (a Capulet) fall in love, they are swept up in a series of violent events and cruel twists of fortune. Despite the passion and innocence of their love, they fall victim to the enmity between their families, and their story ends in tragedy.
In this production, Romeo is played by Joseph Fiennes and Juliet by Maria Miles. Elizabeth Spriggs is the Nurse.

Pretty good, but Joseph Fiennes is cringe
For the most part this is pretty good. But Joseph Fiennes is very hard to listen to as Romeo. Of course Romeo can be a challenging part to play, but this rendition seemed to channel all the parts of the stiff era of Olivier acting, with none of the charm.
Which is a shame; because o really rate him as an actor. But I’m not sure why no one called him out on this during rehearsals!
