Secret Cinema has done it yet again, this time with their excellent production of Baz Luhrmann\u2019s seminal 90s masterpiece; William Shakespeare\u2019s Romeo + Juliet. It delivers a fantastical backdrop that takes movie-lovers to a whole new world of wonder, transcending the shackles of most event-movie experiences. Secret Cinema remains the benchmark for how to wow an audience in terms of scale and endeavour and their latest season is one of their very finest \u2013 transporting guests to the beaches of Verona and directly into an uneasy truce between the houses of Capulet and Montague.<\/p>\n
This is Secret Cinema so I won\u2019t go into too much detail about the production or divulge the location, but it\u2019s worth noting that it takes place in Greater London and it\u2019s in a similar scale to their benchmark Back to the Future<\/a> celebration from back in 2014. That was the event that really started Secret Cinema\u2019s rise to this new level of entertainment production by upping the ante and doubling down on the scale and experience that ticket holders will have. Romeo + Juliet is beautifully realised with sets, dressings and experiences that capture that essence of magic that has made Luhrmann\u2019s movie such a beloved classic.<\/p>\n You get what you give in terms of Secret Cinema – that\u2019s always been the case – and now audiences are much more prepared to come dressed up and in-character for the festivities. Granted this isn\u2019t to everyone\u2019s taste, but even wallflowers can hang back and enjoy the ride here. Once you get your tickets you are emailed all of the pertinent information. There\u2019s an online shop which can aid you with some costumes. Thankfully, Romeo + Juliet is quite easy for inspiration. You can\u2019t go wrong with a Hawaiian shirt, a masquerade mask or some wings and it\u2019s a lot cheaper to come prepared for this production compared to the complex costume choices required for past shows like The Empire Strikes Back<\/a>. <\/p>\n
