ROMEO AND HAMED
A bold queer reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragedy by Scott Horgan, set in Croydon, where Romeo and Hamed’s intense connection challenges faith, family and expectation. Their love burns through rave-fuelled chaos and lyrical verse, exploring identity, religion and belonging, asking if we are free to love.
