Romeo and Julie review – a sweet spin on Shakespeare

Gary Owen’s tale of star-crossed, working-class lovers in modern Cardiff offers existential questions and awkward encounters

This production is again set in the Cardiff community of Splott but is very different fare: a teenage love story inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, lighter and sweeter than its near namesake. The star-crossed lovers are dealing with hard-scrabble lives: Julie (Rosie Sheehy) is an aspiring astrophysicist whose working-class parents are desperate for her to get into Cambridge University. Romeo (Callum Scott Howells) is an out-of-work single father, caught between his baby and his alcoholic mother, struggling to buy nappies.

Spun as a romcom cum kitchen sink drama, there is plenty of cuteness and comic banter, along with Gavin and Stacey-style awkward encounters with each other’s parents. Hayley Grindle’s abstract set illuminates the skies that Julie seeks to study as a mobile constellation dangling above, which also references Shakespearean fate written in the stars.

SONG OF THE WEEK: “Silver Moon” (a Mike Nesmith song) https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/silver-moon ...There’s been a critical reappraisal of Mike Nesmith’s production and songwriting, specifically his ground-breaking 70s country rock material with The First National Band. The FNB made a trilogy of albums that merged old school country resonance with an edge of post-psychedelic rock, spiced with Tin Pan Alley and Latin styles. Truth is, Nez was dabbling at this before and during The Monkees; The FNB just elaborated on it (even if people didn’t “get it” then). Decades later, this phase of Nez has a fresh audience, with some arguing whether Gram Parsons or Nez was The Original Cosmic Cowboy.

In the late 80s I added Nez’s “Silver Moon” to my solo set. In the 90s, I began working with Davy Jones, the British Monkee. He heard me do “Silver Moon” at a gig, then he started singing it (there’s a bootleg around of us doing it in Circleville OH). In 1996 I met Nez at the JUSTUS recording sessions in Nashville. I told him about the coverage “Silver Moon” was getting, and he was amused and surprised. A year later I convened with a Nez tribute act called The Third National Band (Donna Bailey, Gary Owen, Scott Ringle). We cut this version of “Silver Moon” that imagines Buddy Holly with cranked pre-amps. John Bechdel (Killing Joke, Ministry) is at the mixing board.

And nothing could be freakier than his new neighbor Dr. Mamuwalde (Williams), who may or may not be a vampire.
