Shakespeare in Shoreditch: Romeo + Juliet

The greatest love story ever told gets an all-singing, all-dancing update from Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom, Moulin Rouge). Present-day America stands in for Italy, guns replace swords, and a fresh-faced young Leonardo di Caprio falls headlong for his Juliet, their love separated by a fierce gang war. Full of garish energy, frenzied gun battles and a dance-along soundtrack, this is about as far from the dusty image of Shakespeare as you can get.

The Bard's famous tale of two star-crossed lovers screens under the stars in Hoxton Square, a few hundred metres from where the play was first performed over 400 years ago.
