  • Think you can tell your William Shakespeare lines from your Taylor Swift lyrics? It's much harder than you'd think, as the cast of the National Theatre's Romeo & Juliet find out! We're streaming the film around the world* on National Theatre at Home: www.ntathome.com/
    You can also watch now on Sky and NOW in the UK & Ireland and PBS in the USA.
    Big thanks to these members of our Romeo & Juliet cast for taking part in our battle of the lyrical greats: Josh O'Connor, Jessie Buckley, Fisayo Akinade, David Judge, Alex Mugnaioni and Shubham Saraf.
    Romeo & Juliet premiered for free on 9pm Sunday 4 April 2021 on Sky Arts (UK) and 9pm Friday 23 April 2021 on PBS (US).
    *Except Australia due to rights restrictions.
    --
    Romeo and Juliet risk everything to be together. In defiance of their feuding families, they chase a future of joy and passion as violence erupts around them.
    This new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way.
    Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Judy) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country) play Juliet and Romeo. The award-winning cast includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati, Deborah Findlay.

    Taylor has lines like:
    - I'll meet you where the spirit meets the bones, in a fate forgotten land
    - I had a feeling so peculiar, that this pain would be for evermore
    - Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
    - And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
    - Like a figment of my worst intentions
    - I get mystified about how this city screams your name
    - What should be over burrowed under my skin in heart stopping waves of hurt
    - I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
    - It's you, the shape of your body is blue
    So much material and you chose those petty ones.
