Written by William Shakespeare, and directed by Miss Laura J, the writer and director of our recent smash hit Les Miserables The Memoirs of Jean Valjean, this is a full-length, original language adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, set in 1860s Brixham, in a conflict between two families, the Capulets of Higher Brixham (Cowtown) and the Montagues of Lower Brixham (Fishtown). Performed by all-local actors, with an award-winning Torbay theatre company, this promises to be a thrilling production, bringing to life a classic of British theatre- set in the local area.
For centuries, Brixham has been a busy fishing port on the Southwest coast of England, and in the 19th Century, when we have set our production, it was the busiest fishing port in the UK.
At one time, so local legend tells, there was a rivalry between the families of "Lower Brixham" around the harbour, (during which time that area of the town was known as "Fishtown") and the farming families of Upper Brixham, literally up the hills towards Kingswear and Churston, which area was known as "Cowtown". As far as we can ascertain, the historical rivalry extended to some brawls, and the fishermen and farmers using separate entrances to St Marys Church.
In our adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, the tale turns more deadly, with the Capulets controlling "Cowtown" and the Montagues "Fishtown".
In a new departure, for us, the show is being performed against projected Victorian images of Brixham, from the Museum.
