It's one of the greatest and most famous love stories and we already know how it ends before it begins. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is now on stage with ATC, re-envisioned in a 60s thriller, high fashion style. Experienced theatre director, Benjamin Kilby-Henson has had a diverse career; taking theatre groups to the Edinburgh Fringe, directed shows for the Pop Up Globe, musicals for Court Theatre - and yet his shows often have a film or cinematic element and feel to them. Benjamin Kilby-Henson speaks to Culture 101 about how he first felt about the idea of bringing Romeo Juliet; such a well-known story to the stage.
