Gozo Creative Theatre Club will perform After Juliet at the Astra Theatre, Victoria, today at 7.30pm.

A play by Sharman Macdonald, After Juliet takes up the story in the immediate wake of the events in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. It focuses on the enforced truce between the Capulets and the Montagues after the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Benvolio, Romeo’s best friend, is in love with Rosaline, Juliet’s cousin, but Rosaline is bent on revenge. The main question is whether history will repeat itself. This dramatic tale of the aftermath of tragedy illustrates how grief can turn into a quest for vengeance.

Directed by George Mizzi, the cast includes Rebecca Scerri, Matthias Mercieca, Anne Camilleri, André Refalo, Clara Sciberras, Laura Galea, Maria Farrugia, Lucienne Formosa, Daniela Grillage, Adrian Portelli, André Cassar and Mark Laurence Zammit.

Tickets at €5 each are available at the theatre.
