A new film from Footwork Films in association with The Royal Ballet, BBC TWO, BalletBoyz and Manilla Productions will present Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet as it has never been seen before in a ground-breaking reimagining of the best-known love story of all time.

Set to a unique recording of Sergei Prokofiev’s original score, International Emmy award-winning Michael Nunn and William Trevitt restage and direct Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s remarkable choreography, taking it out of the theatre and placing it in the streets of Verona.

Romeo and Juliet: Beyond Words features the current generation of stars of The Royal Ballet, internationally celebrated as the strongest actor-dancers in the world and stars William Bracewell as Romeo, Francesca Hayward as Juliet and Matthew Ball as Tybalt in their feature film debuts. 

The film will have an exclusive, one-night only release in Curzon cinemas throughout the UK on Monday 16 December and will include a post-screening Q&A with the directors Michael Nunn and William Trevitt and leading cast members.
