Firefly Films, in association with distributor eXe Film, presents Paul Bucknor’s Romeo N Juliet 4EVA. Paul Bucknor, known for Conquering Shakespeare (2019), brings this modern adaptation of the timeless love story and sets it firmly in Kingston, Jamaica. The adaptation anchors on Dean, a schoolboy who sees himself as a modern-day Romeo pursuing his classmate Erika, his Juliet.
The concept for this production came from a reality TV competition, ‘Conquering Shakespeare’, which challenged high schools to adapt a Shakespeare play for the stage. The result is a production with a young and talented cast led by Shanice Gowan and Dashawn Miller. With a running time of 77 minutes, this modern adaptation offers a fresh and revolutionary take on the Shakespeare classic.
