Shakespeare and Rap. A love story.The original play, originally scored – with rap and R&B.Some aspects of this new, innovative co-production of Romeo and Juliet aren’t new at all.Everything that makes Shakespeare’s play so well loved is here. The rich, feuding families. The intense, forbidden passion. And the flash of violence that tears the young lovers apart, sending them spiralling towards tragedy.This is unmistakeably Shakespeare’s love story, unaltered in its original text. But it’s not just Shakespeare’s play. There is an important Plus One: rap.Our story shines with new, original elements of rap – as well as soul and R&B. Think everyday English as well as the Elizabethan variety. And the poetry of rap rhythms as well as perfect pentameters.

Belgrade Theatre is Coventry’s largest professional theatre, and acts as both a producing and receiving theatre for the local people. Having been the first civic theatre to be built after World War II, the venue is seen as a symbol of prosperity following the major damage caused to the city because of bombing. The theatre is Grade II listed and has a large capacity of 858.Belgrade Theatre opened in 1958 and took its name from a kind of timber largely used in its construction which was gifted to them by the official authorities of Belgrade, in Serbia (which is Coventry’s official sister city). Soon after, the venue became gained widespread recognition for its new company which had members such as Ian McKellen, Trevor Nunn, Joan Plowright and Michael Crawford.During the 1960s, the Belgrade started its own Theatre-in-Education movement, which worked with disadvantaged young people and used drama as a tool to help them deal with their personal issues. This was later named the ‘Acting Out’ course and still runs to this day.Belgrade Theatre is Coventry’s main hub for live entertainment and produces a varied programme of stand-up comedy, film, theatre and music.
