Isabella Colby Browne plays Juliet in “Romeo a Juliet” with Theatr Cymru and Shakespeare’s Globe

Isabella Colby Browne takes on the role of Juliet in the upcoming bi-lingual production “Romeo a Juliet”, produced by Theatr Cymru in association with Shakespeare’s Globe.

This innovative adaptation, directed by Steffan Donnelly, will be performed in both Welsh and English, weaving the original Shakespearean English with J. T. Jones’s acclaimed Welsh translation to reflect the divided worlds of the Montagues and Capulets.

Offering a powerful exploration of Welsh identity, conflict and connection, this exciting production will open at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff and then tour venues across Wales, before a milestone week as the first Welsh-language performances at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London.

The cast features a dynamic ensemble of emerging and established Welsh performers. Alongside Isabella as Juliet is  Steffan Cennydd as Romeo, Owain Gwynn as Mercutio, Scott Gutteridge as Tybalt, Dom James as Benvolio, Llinor ap Gwynedd as the Nurse, Eiry Thomas as Friar Lawrence, Imad Eldeen as Paris, Gabin Kongolo as the Prince, and Jonathan Nefydd and Michelle McTernan as Lord and Lady Capulet.
