The Nomad Cinema presents Romeo + Juliet

Event information

Have you ever wanted to see the most stunningly beautiful Baz Luhrmann films ever made, while sitting in the magnificent gardens of a Grade I listed building in Soho? Surrounded by ivy-covered walls, this is an intimate and exclusive place you might never otherwise stumble upon.

A little about the film: pure hurtling passion, this. Luhrmann lit a rocket under the well-known tale of star-cross'd lovers, swapped daggers for guns, 'fair Verona' for Verona beach - a brilliantly decaying hybrid of Miami Beach and Mexico City - and sent his camera careering across beautiful and lurid sets, beautiful young actors, to a Nellee Hooper-overseen soundtrack of pumping MTV-friendly rock, taking in The Cardigans, Kym Mazelle and Radiohead. Leonardo di Caprio and Clare Danes are perfectly cast at the centre of this, with solid support in the shape of Paul Sorvino, Pete Postlethwaite, Brian Dennehy and John Leguizamo, memorable as fiery Tybalt.

Tickets include not only the chance to see this great film in a unique setting, but also a complimentary drink and delicious nibbles on arrival. You will also be supporting The House of St Barnabas which helps those affected by homelessness to regain, and importantly retain, employment so that they can become independent members of society again.

Please note: the audio for this screening will be via wireless headphones, due to sound restrictions in the garden and to give you optimal sound quality.
