Jodi Rilot and I share our thoughts about Rebecca Frecknall’s production of Romeo and Juliet at the Almeida Theatre in London. Rebecca Frecknall is currently the hottest director in town, her most recent credits including A Streetcar Named Desire with Paul Mescal and Patsy Ferran, which also started life at the Almeida before transferring to the West End, as well as her innovative production of Cabaret. She is known for her stripped down, modern takes on classic titles and her Romeo and Juliet is no exception.
