Romeo and Juliet

by

William Shakespeare

Directed by Garth Jones

22nd - 27th June 1999

The greatest love story ever told returns to the lawns of Gawsworth. This year we introduce a new guest director, Garth Jones, who is the Drama Advisor for Trafford Education Authority. He has directed many productions, including a large number at the Altincham Club Theatre. Every year he manages to inspire a collection of Trafford teenagers of widely varying experience and ability to take part in the Trafford Youth Theatre Summer Workshops and appear in the ensuing productions.

This production was shadowed by a Granada TV team, and shown in 5 x 5 minutes segments on Granada Reports.
A 5 minute compilation video can be viewed on YouTube:
