COMMISSIONED BY BBC COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE

Marking the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, BBC Coventry & Warwickshire put Coventry residents centre-stage to celebrate the Midlands’ most famous son.

Romeo and Juliet was reimagined and performed by Coventry residents in Broadgate, Coventry as part of the BBC’s Shakespeare Street project.
