Romeo and Juliet: Out of Pocket
Prod.Spotlight Talent

What if Romeo and Juliet didn’t end in tragedy—but in something messier, funnier, and unexpectedly romantic?
In this witty, bilingual comedy, a British Shakespeare scholar and a visiting Mexican professor go head-to-head to rewrite the world’s most famous love story—by performing the entire play themselves. In 70 chaotic minutes.
What starts as an academic debate explodes into theatrical anarchy, with chalkboards, sabotage, and PowerPoint-fueled passion. As English and Spanish collide, rivalry gives way to revelation—and maybe even love.
Directed by acclaimed Mexican theatremaker Alonso Iñiguez and written by award-winning Argentinian playwright Emiliano Dionisi, this international hit stars recent LAMDA grad Eduardo Zucchi in a high-energy farce that’s toured from Buenos Aires to Mexico City.
Romeo and Juliet: Out of Pocket is part clown show, part lecture, part slow-burn romance. Perfect for Shakespeare lovers, sceptics, and anyone who’s ever fallen for their opposite.
What if the ending you’ve always known... wasn’t the whole story?
