    Sedona AZ (July 27, 2016) – The first season of the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Live continues an exceptional series of plays broadcast to cinemas from London’s Garrick Theatre. The second of the series is “Romeo and Juliet” showing on Sunday, Aug. 7 at 3 p.m. in Sedona. The Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen premiere at its Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company Live cinema season presents a new vision of Shakespeare’s heartbreaking tale of forbidden love — “Romeo and Juliet”. Branagh and his creative team present a modern passionate version of the classic tragedy. 

    A longstanding feud between Verona’s Montague and Capulet families brings about devastating consequences for two young lovers caught in the conflict.

    Kenneth Branagh co-directs with Rob Ashford, reuniting with the stars of his celebrated film of Cinderella, Richard Madden and Lily James, as Romeo and Juliet. Also featuring Sir Derek Jacobi as Mercutio and Meera Syal as The Nurse.
