Principal dancer Tama Barry writes about life on the road with Romeo and Juliet.
So here we are in the theatre again, this time with a modernist vision of Romeo and Juliet. It has taken about six weeks of solid work, not just from the dancers and the artistic staff, but also the technical team and costume departments, who have been reinvigorating the sets and costumes. The Company orchestra has also been in rehearsal with the beautiful Prokofiev score. It has been this week that all of these aspects of theatre have finally come together, and I can happily say...
Romeo and Juliet opened at Theatre Royal on Saturday, and we celebrated in style!

Parting is such sweet, um, cake! Team Montague vs Team Capulet cakes from Cupcake in the Merchant City...
... and whiskey from AnCnoc during the interval.
It's been a busy week with all our Romeo and Juliet merchandise arriving. As our friends at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness show, you can pledge your allegiance to Team Montague or Team Capulet with our new t-shirts...
...or you can relax and enjoy a cuppa in a Romeo and Juliet mug while reading your pre-ordered programme.
You can browse through the full range of new goodies here.
Dancers Quenby Hersh and Christopher Harrison will be starring in the new poster for the 2010/11 season of Cinderella, and last week, they took part in a photoshoot with photographer Graham Wylie and make-up artist Ainslie Currie. The finished results will be popping up on our site soon, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek behind the scenes.
