Romeo & Juliet - As Told By Debs Newbold

Wednesday 10th June, 7:30pm, Martlets Café, Burgess Hill, West Sussex RH15 9NN

Pitting the Montagues against the Capulets, Debs catapults her audience into the torrid streets of Verona in this poignant, emotional and often uproarious retelling of Shakespeare's tale of star Crossed lovers.

Originally commissioned by Shakespeare's Globe theatre, this remarkable reworking will immerse you in both Shakespeare's incomparable verse and the warm poetic storytelling that is uniquely Debs' own.

A sell-out at both Sidmouth Festival and the Hay Literary Festival. Debs Newbold's work brings together the poetic and the irreverent, the ancient and the defiantly modern. Debs is one of the UK's most acclaimed Performance Storytellers, regularly playing venues such as the Royal Opera House, Southbank Centre and Shakespeare's Globe, as well as touring internationally.

Twice voted one of the top five acts at the Towersey Festival (the only Spoken Word Artist in its fifty year history ever to achieve this), Storyteller and Education Practitioner for Shakespeare's Globe, Associate Artist at the English Folk Dance & Song Society, double nominee at the inaugural British Awards for Storytelling Excellence, Debs is a force of nature, a teller not to be missed.

To top off this wonderful evening an Italian Buffet is included in the ticket price.

All profits from this event are going to the Burgess Hill Community Foodbank
