Romeo & Juliet

Brownsea Open Air Theatre Romeo & Juliet

About

The world's most-beloved tale of love at first sight. Set in a sultry Italian summer, hot-blooded passion pulses and tempers fray as young lovers hastily tread their dangerous path through the bitter feud of two warring families.

Brownsea Open Air Theatre is an open-air Shakespearian theatre company based in Poole, Dorset that has performed large theatrical productions since 1964.

One of the biggest theatrical projects in the south, the annual production is set on The National Trust's Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, Dorset. These beautiful surroundings make for a wonderful show, and a fantastic evening of traditional Shakespeare.

BOAT receive excellent national and regional coverage, and have been featured in The Guardian as one of the UK's Top 10 Open Air Theatre Venues, Debrett's 2009 list of the top five things to do in England and in 2019 Woman's Weekly featured BOAT as one of the Top 5 Open Air Theatres in the UK.

Join us as we celebrate our 60th season on Brownsea Island.

Performances are Wednesday 26th July to Friday 11th August 2023
