Flabbergast Theatre’s Romeo & Juliet at the iconic Wilton’s Music Hall is a delectable and compelling interpretation of Shakespeare’s tragic love story. A darkly comedic, conceptual re-imagination of the classic drama, it is a far cry from the rather more slick and sanitised variations we have come to expect from modern theatrical productions.

For anyone of my era, Live Aid challenged our parent’s Woodstock as the once in a generation, popular culture milestone. Forty years on and JUST FOR ONE DAY revisits and recreates the excitement, passion and urgency inherent in staging the 1985 events, which raised funds to save millions from starvation in Africa.
