Mercutio

Sink Or Swim Theatre Company

Mercutio is a bold, visceral reimagining of Romeo & Juliet, told from the perspective of its
most electrifying character. Set in a modern English council estate, this one-act play rips
Shakespeare’s tragedy from its aristocratic roots and thrusts it into a world of domestic
violence, class struggle, and fractured brotherhood. Mercutio, caught between loyalty and
survival, navigates a world where violence is currency and love is fleeting. Darkly poetic,
laced with humour, and charged with raw emotion, Mercutio reclaims the voice of one of
Shakespeare’s most enigmatic figures - right up until his tragic final breath.
