Venue: Arnos Vale Cemetery
Price: £15

Butterfly Theatre, Shakespeare

Back by popular demand, Butterfly Theatre Company return to Bristol Shakespeare Festival with their latest production of Romeo & Juliet, in association with Arnos Vale.

Shakespeare’s tale of two star-crossed lovers comes alive in the unique setting of Arnos Vale. As an archaeologist guides you through the historic ruins of Verona, he shares the tale of the beautiful love story surrounding the statue of the famous beauty, Juliet. Suddenly the statue breathes with life, along with all the people in the tale.

Hate versus love, death versus life.
