Perry Pontac - Fatal Loins

4 Extra Debut. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is re-imagined, this time with a letter successfully delivered and the lovers turned parents, 20 years on. Starring Samuel West.

What would have happened if Romeo had learnt from Friar Laurence that Juliet wasn't dead?

Samuel West stars as Romeo in this re-imagining of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. Written entirely in blank verse by Perry Pontac, a great tragedy becomes a riotous comedy.

With Rachel Atkins as Juliet; John Moffatt as Friar Laurence; Pam Ferris as Nurse; Nancy Carroll as Rosaline; Ben Crowe as Paris and Ray Lonnen as Chorus.

Director: David Hunter.

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in 2001.
