From the acclaimed writer of Iphigenia In Splott, Romeo & Julie is a modern love story loosely inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo is a single dad hanging on tight. Julie is fighting to follow her dream of studying at Cambridge. Two Welsh teens raised a few streets apart – but from entirely different worlds – crash into first love and are knocked off their feet.
But at the crossroads to the rest of their lives, Julie’s family fears the worst in a world of unequal opportunity.
