Description
Shakespeare’s enduring love story, remembered and relived.
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.” – Juliet, Romeo & Juliet, 2:2
Two older actors, former lovers, meet again after fifty years. She is living with memory loss; he carries the memories she struggles to hold. They have unfinished business and matters of the heart to resolve, life and death decisions to be made, raw emotions to be laid bare.
When a lost 1960s TV version of Romeo and Juliet flickers back to life on the walls around them, starring the couple in their youth, their bittersweet past becomes inescapable. Live performance and film merge in a moving exploration of love, memory, and the stories we cling to as everything else fades.
Remember Romeo is an ode to the shattering experience of first love, and of last love. Shakespeare’s classic is a story held in all of our hearts, tenderly revisited by ‘multimedia daredevils’ (The Times) Imitating the Dog.
