Visits SOLD OUT! Thursday 26th September 2024 Visit to RSC Stratford and seeing performance of Northern Ballet’s Romeo and Juliet We are planning to visit the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford on Thursday 26th September 2024 for a backstage tour (further details to follow as September’s tours have not yet been released) and a matinee performance of the Northern Ballet’s Romeo and Juliet. This is the first time in decades that ballet has been performed on the main stage at the RSC. The production is described as having “glorious dancers, eye catching sets and with Prokofiev’s timeless music this is ballet at its most dramatic, romantic and intense”. The production has received 5 star reviews, being described as "A wonderful, exhilarating and ultimately extremely affecting retelling of the oft-told story. A must-see." by the Yorkshire Post. Our day will commence with a backstage tour in the morning after which you will be free to make your own lunch arrangements prior to Romeo and Juliet commencing at 1.15pm. We will be travelling by executive coach from Uppingham. The final cost of the day will be in the region of £75-£85/head depending on final numbers, but we need a minimum of 20 bookings for the trip to proceed. We have managed to secure 30 tickets in the side stalls, so if you would like to join this trip, please let our Visits Organiser, Della Stones know no later than Thursday 20th June - please email djstones@aol.com or phone 07749187008.
