An enterprising Friar Lawrence is offering socially distanced confessions, online. Lady Macbeth and Prospero are both regulars. Even Boris Johnson has been known to pop in.
​
Unfortunately for the friar, his pharmaceutical business is failing, he’s being stalked by a randy nurse, and he probably shouldn’t have become quite so involved in Romeo’s ridiculous love life.
​
A hilarious and irreverent re-telling of Shakespeare’s classic love story, Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence’s Confessional will particularly appeal to secondary schools who want their students to engage with Shakespeare in a different way.
​
Friar Lawrence’s Confessional was originally presented online by Creation Theatre Company in 2021. It runs at just over an hour. The stage production is a one man show, with the remaining characters appearing via ‘Zoom’ on a projection screen behind the friar.
