1981. Margaret Thatcher. Skinheads. Brixton. The Specials. Unemployment. Barbers. Madness. Rock Against Racism. Discos. Riots. Cabbies. The Selecter. This town is coming like a Ghost Town.
In a nation coming apart at the seams, two young people find love in adversity. But will they be strong enough to survive the age old-conflicts in their community?
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale is set to some of the greatest sounds this country has ever created, exploring a generation of young people empowered by music and culture.
