Romeo and Juliet risk everything to be together. In defiance of their feuding families, they chase a future of joy and passion as violence erupts around them.

This new film brings to life the remarkable backstage spaces of the National Theatre in which desire, dreams and destiny collide to make Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy sing in an entirely new way.

Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Judy) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, God’s Own Country) play Juliet and Romeo. The award-winning cast includes Tamsin Greig, Fisayo Akinade, Adrian Lester, Lucian Msamati and Deborah Findlay.

Romeo & Juliet premiered for free on 9pm Sunday 4 April 2021 on Sky Arts (UK) and 9pm Friday 23 April 2021 on PBS (US).

i now understand why Juliet gave everything up for Romeo. Anyone who talks to me that way can whisk me off wherever

[nargleinafez]

Make this worldwide please. VOD or streaming.. anything!

[stantheman]

Jessie Buckley can literally do anything, I would love to see her as a Bond villain

[daledenman]

This was the best production of Romeo & Juliet that I've ever seen. Hands down. The acting, the directing, the set, the lighting. Everything. I was transfixed!

[noraibarra]

So no one is going to talk about the great soundtrack? I'm obsessed

[RS-jsdf]

Came here for josh, stayed for the acting

[TheDreamingangel]

This version of Romeo & Juliet is the best version of the play that I have ever seen! The acting is phenomenal! It is so good, it doesn't even seem like the actors and actresses are acting. They also do a wonderful job of speaking Shakespeare's lines in such a natural way, that you feel like you can easily understand everything they are saying. They managed to bridge the divide between old World language and the modern world. I am in awe! I will endlessly watch this performance until the end of time!

[oberonyronwood]

Two incredibly talented actors, they have such a bright future ahead of them!

[oliviagow]

Josh and Jessie are just incredible. Their chemistry is off the charts

[teddyan]

the way the nurse almost syncs with the music in her first lines is just lovely

[TheBurgessNetwork]

I never get tired of this story. Never. And to think - this is not the only great play Shakespeare wrote.

[carolinadiza]

Anyone else want them to do the audio book reading, soundtrack and all? 🤷‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[MrCrowebobby]

Never fully appreciated Josh's voice before.

[alana]

Please, could you make it available to watch outside the UK and the US? It looks amazing!

[twobluestripes]

Stunning work! I didn’t think i needed to see another R&J, but maybe I do.

[astaraoneill]

This is a stunning translation to film. Beautifully directed and edited.

[sophieamandaleitontoomey]

Josh is a perfect Romeo.

Great job, casting team.

[ramandeepnijjar]

I can't stay calm! I am too excited for this incredible master piece!

[laibashamsee]

i feel like this is the one production worthy of the whole of the 21th century
