“DON'T WASTE YOUR LOVE ON SOMEBODY, WHO DOESN'T VALUE IT”

With a run time of just 60 minutes, ‘Shakespeare Without Tears: Romeo and Juliet' makes an impact both inside and outside of the classroom. We introduce students to the famous lovers through a captivating, engaging and interactive performance. Timeless themes of newfound love, life, destiny and more are explored in both classical Shakespearian and modern language and context so young audiences can better relate to the play’s themes and lessons and teachers can relate them back to their own units of inquiry.

An exciting production of Shakespeare tragic love story, constructed exclusively for secondary school students. We bring a bold new look at this celebrated and much studied play, over 60 minutes. The Flying Bookworm Theatre Company is passionate in presenting performances that act as pathways for student understanding and enjoyment of Shakespeare.


The Flying Bookworm Theatre Company’s performances are relatable and engaging springboards for students to better grasp the language, characters, humour and themes of each work so that they’re playfully encouraged to explore and find joy in reading and the English language. Through our dynamic 60-minute versions of Shakespeare’s works, we de-mystify elements of each play or sonnet to help create a greater connection to his works and how they still resonate today.

Our actors guide students through the Verona of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, highlighting the key themes and scenes that make this such a compelling work.

In each performance we will:

-Highlight the themes and motifs that run throughout the pay such as love, seasons, accountability and fate

-Take difficult scenes and re-present them in modern English

-Use improvisation as a means of discovering the universal truths in the text

-Respectful and appropriate audience participation

-Q&A session with students after the performance

-Link each scene with clear and concise explanations
