VIDEO: Josh O'Connor, Jessie Buckley & the Cast of ROMEO & JULIET Play 'William Shakespeare or Taylor Swift?'

On Friday, April 23 on PBS, Great Performances will present the exclusive U.S. premiere of the National Theatre's Romeo & Juliet starring Golden Globe and Critics Choice winner Josh O'Connor (The Crown) as Romeo and Jessie Buckley (Fargo) as Juliet.

In celebration, the cast took part in a fun game to discover whether or not they could discern lines written by The Bard from lines written by millennial bard Taylor Swift.

In this contemporary rendering of Shakespeare's beloved romantic tragedy, a company of actors in a shuttered theater bring to life the tale of two young lovers who strive to transcend a world of violence and hate.

The production is directed by Shakespeare Theatre Company Artistic Director Simon Godwin.
