Modern and passionate staging of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy on screen at Fisher Theatre

Sedona AZ (July 12, 2021) – The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s modern and passionate staging of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet”, returns to the big screen this summer.

The Sedona International Film Festival hosts the high-definition presentation on Sunday, July 18 at 3 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s modern and passionate staging of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet”, stars Richard Madden as Romeo and Lily James as Juliet, with Sir Derek Jacobi as Mercutio and Meera Syal as The Nurse.

A production with pulsating energy starring Richard Madden as Romeo and Lily James as Juliet, with Sir Derek Jacobi as Mercutio and Meera Syal as The Nurse, this is a heartbreaking tale of forbidden love where the longstanding feud between Verona’s Montague and Capulet families brings about devastating consequences for two young lovers caught in the conflict.

Directed with seriousness and opulence by Sir Kenneth Branagh and Rob Ashford, “Romeo and Juliet” was the fifth play in the inaugural Plays at the Garrick season and filmed for the big screen in black and white CinemaScope.

The Politics of Pain

If there’s one thing nearly every living organism on this planet shares, it is the ability to feel pain. The pain of hunger. Of loneliness. Of illness. The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
