Romeo and Juliet (Murray Conrad (Freelance Practitioner UK))(Paperback / softback)

Two Postcodes, two streets apartIn dear Merton where our story starts.Beef from the past creates new tension.Innocent blood spilled they need an intervention.A boy and a girl, supposed to be ops;They chat, hold hands, secret meetings by the shops.A remixed tale of star-crossed lovers.How much would you risk for the person you love?Forced apart by generations of hatred, young eyes meet across a South London dancefloor on a fateful night that will change their lives forever. Shakespeare’s most famous story is re-told through rap, rhythms, and beautiful harmonies. It’s Romeo and Juliet, but as you’ve never heard it before. Put down your swords and pick up your mics, after all, the course of true love never did run smooth.From Conrad Murray, the creator behind the 2023 Offie award-winning Pied Piper: The Hip Hop Family Musical, comes this hip hop re-telling with contributions from Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens, Khai Shaw, and Kate Donnachie.This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London''s Polka Theatre in March 2024.
