romeo and juliet

I was lucky enough to see Sean play Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet" at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, on Wednesday 29th October 1986, 7.30pm performance. The production was staged in the modern day, with sharp suits and contemporary music. As Romeo, Sean wore a white suit. This production was first performed at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, on the 31st of March 1986. See the bio page for a publicity photo of Sean from the play.
