DISCOVERING JULIET


Samantha Reynolds has played Shakespeare's most famous heroine in five productions of Romeo and Juliet. Along the way she has gained new insights into this most intriguing of characters, while at the same time learning about her own life and attitudes to love. We explore her participation in these productions, meeting a succession of directors, each more relentless than the last. Discovering Juliet is funny and poignant, and an ideal virtuoso one act play for a solitary actress. It is designed so it can be performed on the same bill as the author's one-man one act play, Curtains for Biggles.
