The Screen Guide

Nine months in the making, this half-hour documentary follows the creation of The Australian Ballet’s new interpretation of Shakespeare’s greatest tale, ‘Romeo & Juliet’, choreographed by Graeme Murphy with his creative partner Janet Vernon. We are privy to their intense rehearsal periods, together with the design process with Akira Isogawa and Gerard Manion - the sheer hard work, imagination and joy in creating such a major work. But at the end, it is up to the Principal Artists - dancers Kevin Jackson and Madeleine Eastoe - and their moving interpretation of their ‘Romeo’ and ‘Juliet’.
