Following SDC's sold out run of She Stoops to Conquer at Shrewsbury's Theatre Severn, plans are afoot for the next production - William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet at Much Wenlock Festival in June 2010.

We have now successfully auditioned and cast Romeo (Michael Beasley) and Juliet (Zoe Vernon) - pictured - from an impressive group of young people who attended Theatre Severn on Saturday 26th September. We shall soon have the remaining roles cast.

‘Romeo’ and ‘Juliet’ are pictured at Cronkhill, the best known example of John Nash’s Italianate villa designs, taken by kind permission of the custodians, Mr and Mrs Rupert Acton, also of Acton Scott, Shropshire, and the National Trust. For more information about the Acton Scott Estate visit www.actonscott.com. Cronkhill is open to the public six days a year, for details visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk.
