Introduced by Steve Blacknell
Four actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company tackle two famous scenes from two famous plays - the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet and the 'cross-garters' scene from Twelfth Night. Well-known the scenes may be, but to make the familiar words 'come off the page' and work on stage calls for skill, enthusiasm, much talk and hard work.
With Anton Lesser and Niamh Cusack as Romeo and Juliet; Estelle Kohler and Emrys James as Olivia and Malvolio.
