To celebrate the 30th anniversary (yes, we are that old) of the film that spawned a generation of angel-wing-wearing teenagers we are very excited to be screening Baz Luhrmann’s iconic retelling of Romeo and Juliet.

Against the urban backdrop of Verona Beach, California, the Montague and Capulet families are embroiled in a long-running feud. When Romeo, a Montague, attends a Capulet ball in disguise, he falls in love with the beautiful Juliet. Although already engaged to Dave Paris, whom she does not love, Juliet vows to marry Romeo. They ask the kindly Father Laurence to perform the ceremony in secret, but bloodshed and tragedy threaten the couple's future together. Have Clare Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio ever been as good again. Iconic!

We're also hosting a relaxed KNITFLIX screening of Romeo + Juliet on Saturday 25th April, 3pm. Click here for tickets and information.
