Learning on ScreenRomeo and Juliet: Beyond Words
- Synopsis
- Feature-length adaptation of Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s version of the Prokofiev ballet starring William Bracewell as Romeo, Francesca Hayward as Juliet with members of The Royal Ballet. Shakespeare’s story is told entirely through dance with sound effects but no dialogue and features the original 1965 production’s costume designs by Nicholas Georgiadis. The Sergei Prokofie score, newly-recorded, has been cut to fit the film’s 90-minute running time.
