🎠Siege Theatre’s Romeo & Juliet — Closing Night
Siege Theatre’s dynamic site-specific production of Romeo & Juliet reaches its final performance after thirteen consecutive nights in the haunting D-Wing of Oxford Castle Prison. This closing night offers the last chance to experience Shakespeare’s tragedy where Victorian prison walls amplify the play’s themes of confinement, destiny, and love against impossible odds.
What to expect:
🎠Culmination of a two-week residency — Witness the company at peak performance after thirteen shows, where the ensemble’s deep familiarity with the prison space creates an intensified, razor-sharp interpretation of the Capulet-Montague feud in Robin Belfield’s direction
🎓 Emotional resonance of the final bow — Experience the unique energy of a closing night where actors and audience share the bittersweet awareness that this immersive world — built within authentic cells and corridors — exists only until the final curtain falls
🌙 Summer festival farewell — Join the last gathering of Oxford Castle’s summer Shakespeare season, with gates opening at 6:30pm for a final evening of pre-show drinks in the castle grounds before the D-Wing’s iron gates close on this production
