Scudamore's - Special Events

Copyright Thirdlight Photography Ltd. 2004

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume

William Shakespeare

This autumn the Leper Chapel on Newmarket Road will serve as the evocative backdrop to a staging of Romeo and Juliet produced by exciting young theatre company Mutabilitie.

Set amidst the devastation of the Blitz this powerful, original adaptation combines the raw violence and youthful energy of Shakespeare's play with the melancholic music and foreboding atmosphere of 1940s Britain.

An ensemble of nine capture the danger, passion and vibrancy of the original story. Please click here for a full cast list.

The production runs from Wednesday 22nd October to Saturday 1st November 2008, excluding Sunday 26th and Monday 27th October. Performances begin at 20:00 and last approximately 120 minutes. Please note that there is no interval.

Scudamore's are acting as booking agents and tickets are available now online or by phone on 01223 359750. Advance purchase is strongly recommended as the seating capacity of the Leper Chapel is 60 people and this production is anticipated to be popular.
