Siege Theatre Presents: Romeo & Juliet

About the Experience

Join Siege Theatre for an unforgettable evening of open-air theatre as they return to Oxford Castle & Prison for their landmark 10th season. Known for breathing new twists into Shakespeare, Siege Theatre re-imagines Romeo and Juliet against the turbulent backdrop of the American War of Independence.

In a world divided by loyalty, honour, and conflict, love becomes both dangerous and defiant. With families on opposing sides of a fractured nation, the star-crossed lovers must navigate duty to their country, allegiance to their kin, and devotion to one another. This bold reinterpretation explores love, identity, and sacrifice in a time when every choice carries consequence.

Held within the Oxford historic castle grounds, this production promises an emotionally charged and visually striking take on Shakespeare’s most famous love story.
