With minimal sets and costumes, five master storytellers transform a bare stage into fair Verona. British actors from London’s most prestigious stages perform every role in Shakespeare’s star-crossed tragedy. Experience the power and passion of the world’s greatest love story live on stage.
Founded in 1975 by actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company including Sir Patrick Stewart, Actors From The London Stage is committed to clear and creative storytelling. From a single trunk of props and costumes, five professional British actors bring Shakespeare's greatest works to life. Each actor takes on two or three major roles and several minor ones. All five work together to tell the story, for there is no director. This proven formula reignites Shakespeare's timeless stories with tour-de-force performances that bring you straight into the action, into the poetry, into the mind of the world's greatest playwright.
