Review added of the National Theatre’s new “Film for TV” of Romeo & Juliet (SEE LINK), starring Jesse Buckley as Juliet and Josh “The Crown” O’Connor as Romeo. Filmed in 17 days during the pandemic in the empty theatre. Definitely a film, not a streamed play, though it remains tightly in a theatre. 5 star reviews from The Guardian and Telegraph too. Repeated on 5th April and 8th April on Sky Arts in the UK (Freeview Channel 11). Coming to PBS in the USA on 23 April for Shakespeare’s birthday.
