Romeo and Juliet (mini-retreat)

A Unique Shakespeare Retreat exploring Shakespeare's most famous lovers with a particular focus on Romeo and Juliet

Arrive on Monday 14th October for our evening welcome dinner, or on the morning of Tuesday 15th October for our first play reading, and stay in one of our spacious ensuite rooms through to check-out on Thursday 17th October.

• a candlelit presentation on the effects of candlelight in Shakespeare's plays
• a showing and discussion of at least one film or TV adaptation of one of the plays
