Acerca de esta escucha

A gritty reimagining of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, this brand new modern-day audiobook adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic love story is full of passion, emotion, scandal, disillusionment and family fallout.

An amateur dramatics company in a suburban corner of nowhere. Two men with very different lives, brought together when cast in the roles of Romeo and Juliet - 'as Shakespeare would have it', in the words of their eccentric and enigmatic director. Though the elicit romance doesn't only play out on the stage.

Against the odds, our heroes struggle to keep hold of each other and to keep a handle on real life. As the pressures, threats and expectations of their worlds draw in, per Shakespeare's original, the pithy banter from the first few scenes evaporates away to reveal a very real and present danger... and even tragedy.

Starring Owen Teale (Game of Thrones), Matthew Tennyson (Pride), Nick Moran (Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels) and Ricky Norwood (EastEnders), Romeo and Jude contains strong language and adult themes.

    Ep. 1: Two Households
    Apr 30 2018

    [Contains explicit content] Ray (a middle-aged, directionless and insular amateur actor), has just taken his bow at the conclusion of a moderately successful local production of 'Knickers, Vicar?' He slips outside to reflect on his life whilst the cast celebrate in the dressing room. His sister Nancy (motherly, concerned and downtrodden due to her sorry excuse for a husband), attempts to lift his spirits.

    Ep. 2: Dignity
    Apr 30 2018

    [Contains explicit content] It's the first calamitous rehearsal of the local production of Romeo and Juliet — directed by the very quickly despairing Miranda Perrot. However, Ray and Jude provide her with the welcome possibility that this production won't be an almighty waste of her time. Her extravagant ideas for the production (and Jude's overindulgence in them!), terrify Ray to his very core and early rehearsals prove too much for him to swallow.

    Full cast: Owen Teale, Matthew Tennyson, Frances Jeater, Ricky Norwood, Nick Moran, Sarah Whitehouse, Zalie Burrow, Mark Straker, Richenda Carey, Stephan Chase, Josephine Arden, Simon Kane.

    Ep. 3: Two Foes
    Apr 30 2018

    [Contains explicit content] A drunk and maniacal Tyrone stumbles upon Ray and Jude having a post-rehearsal 'debrief' in the local pub. Rehearsals and preparation for Romeo and Juliet begin to pick up momentum and Miranda and Jude find common ground in playing dress-up. A frenetic and re-invigorated Ray is starting to become something of a mystery to his sister and brother-in-law, who struggle to keep a grip on who the real Ray is!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wonderful performances pepper this intriguing contemporary twist on Romeo and Juliet.... The full-cast delivers Shakespeare's words and emotions as convincingly as they deliver their off-stage personae.... In the smaller, more intimate, scenes, both plot and characters come alive." (AudioFile)

The performance was excellent. I knew going in with the name of it that it wasn't gonna have a happy ending, but I thought, just maybe. Jude was perfection. By far my favorite. One of my favorite scenes was at the guest house with the homophobic lady. Jude was amazing.

Generally good and the acting was solid. The story got a little screwy here and there, but worth a listen.

A really compelling podcast, very bingeable, and although I understand the ending I really wished it had turned out different, but perhaps that showed how much I loved the characters.

Lovely story with charismatic actors

The fascinating present day storyline beautifully intertwines with the classic Romeo & Juliet. Each main character is strong, and their struggle to find a balance between societal acceptance and authenticity is a riveting and relatable journey. The performers do a fantastic job of naturally expressing their character’s dynamic and tumultuous emotions. I’m hooked and enjoying the ride!

I am HOOKED!

Great performance. Went off the rails a bit. Entertaining and interesting but maybe too hyped with the drama.

Good but went off the rails here and there

This was a hair's breadth away from totally perfect, and it was such a pleasure that I'd be a sad sod to give it less than a perfect score.
The performances are absolutely fantastic - full of character, and the actors played off of each other remarkably well.
The story could have perhaps been tweaked at one specific moment to make it more... plausible, maybe. But, in my opinion, where the story or dialogue went over-the-top it was done not only with purpose, but also done well.
Again - a total pleasure, and I'm so happy I stumbled into it by absolute chance.

Captivating from the start

It was an overstuffed melodrama. filled with cliche. The first half of it was actually pretty good. The pace was wonderful It kept you engaged. and then suddenly it became just a nasty greasy stain. The writing fell apart, the acting got worse and worse every chapter. The actor who played Jude , must have thought he was on dynasty. He gave the best impersonation of Joan Collins I've heard in a while. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community; It was so bad it was almost insulting. The only reason why I would suggest someone listen to this would be because you should experience this sort of crud at least once in your life. The only bright spot in this was that I didn't have to pay for it .... It was part of my membership. All in all it was an overdressed Christmas turkey, an old turkey with week old fixings.

Shakespeare would be embarrassed.

I couldn’t get past the second episode. The director character was so disgustingly awful to the other characters. Life is too short to listen to such drivel.
