This summer one of the greatest love stories of all time will explode onto the streets of
Guildford. For three weeks, celebrating their 18th birthday, Guildford Shakespeare Company is
closing the High Street every evening to bring to life the passion and excitement of
Shakespeare’s epic star-crossed lovers, Romeo & Juliet. Throughout one of the UK’s most
beautiful high streets, audiences will be immersed in Shakespeare’s gripping tale of love and
sacrifice.

Featuring the iconic Guildhall balcony, historic Abbot’s Hospital, stylish Tunsgate Quarter and
more, audiences will follow the action through Guildford as the story unfolds, ending in the
stunning Castle Gardens. GSC’s professional cast will also be joined by a Community Ensemble
of adults and young people. Putting the show on the High Street and using iconic local
landmarks will bring an immediacy to this 400-year-old story. Site-responsive shows enable
audiences to interact with their shared space in a completely new, accessible and exciting way.
