A combination of reasons means that the S4K Theatre Company won’t be touring the UK during the autumn of 2011 - but there are plans for a brand new production 0f S4K's Romeo & Juliet in the spring.

Back at S4K HQ, JC and the other key creatives and producers have been working hard on the up-coming feature film of S4K’s Romeo & Juliet that is moving into pre-production in September. Casting continues during the autumn, rehearsals start in January and our first movies starts shooting in the UK and on location in February 2012.

Production news will be regularly available via our website and associated Facebook/Twitter pages, as will news of the autumn 2012 release date and where you can see it.

That – along with the recent economic downturn and uncertainty – made us consider that a theatre tour this autumn is not commercially viable. (Remember S4K doesn’t receive any grants, subsidies, Arts Council funding or Lottery funding; and we survive purely on our ticket receipts).

However, plans are already in place for a short UK theatre tour of a brand new production S4K’s Romeo & Juliet in the spring/early summer of 2012, which will incorporate most of the updates and new bits we’re putting into the movie.

More news will appear here during the autumn and via our autumn newsletters to schools.
