Romeo + Juliet

Rose Theatre, Kingston
10 March

Like spots of light
they dance together,
moving close
for the inevitable kiss.
They are but children
brought to flower suddenly,
alike in beauty,
all too soon extinct.

 

Romeo + Juliet runs at the Rose Theatre, Kingston until 21 March

Man and Superman

17 February
National Theatre

Woman of wealth
and willpower:
a bastion of morals
and a sledgehammer
of sleek manipulation.

He would rather run
than face those wedding bells,
pick up his heels,
head for the hills
and drive like the devil.

Man and Superman runs at the National Theatre until 17 May
