Casting announced for world premiere of a new everyday comedy at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Full casting has been revealed for the world premiere of Sharon ‘n’ Barry do ‘Romeo & Juliet’, a new everyday comedy from the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch.

Directed by the venue’s Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul, the show will be presented live on Zoom between 25 February-6 March, and will star Joanne Seymour (Eastenders) and David Nellist (Sherlock) as Sharon and Barry respectively.

Sharon and Barry are done with baking, Joe Wicks & Netflix and have stumbled upon Sharon's old battered school text of Romeo & Juliet in their loft. After a bit of a read and a watch of the classic, the couple's been inspired to have a crack at the play themselves... 

They've hacked out the boring bits, worked out playing all the parts, and the props have just arrived from Amazon!

So, join them live from their living room for this inadvertently hilarious, but surprisingly touching, take on Shakespeare's most romantic story.

Also joining Seymour and Nellist will be Jessica Rothon and Jack Scannell-Wood from Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch’s QYouth programme, who will alternate as Sharon and Barry’s niece/nephew.
