A stunning new version of Shakespeare's classic love story will take to the stage at Trestle Theatre next week.
The Rite of Spring / Romeo and Juliet brings together Stravinsky’s score with the bard's play and uses Trestle’s expressive character half masks and piano four hands to create a music-oriented physical theatre retelling of the romantic tragedy.
Conceived by award-winning pianist An-Ting Chang and her innovative theatre company Concert Theatre, the production features concert pianists from the Royal Academy of Music, actors and director trained at the Lecoq School and mask specialists from Trestle Theatre and was a sell-out in London
Trestle Arts Base, Russet Drive, St Albans, Thursday, May 8. Details: 01727 850950, trestle.org.uk
