We chat Shakespeare with Mark Jax

Mark Jax plays Capulet, Romeo’s father, in our production of Romeo & Juliet, opening at Victoria Baths next week. We caught up with him during a break in rehearsals to talk about the delight of working in an Edwardian swimming baths and his previous experiences in Shakespeare plays. He also tells us why he thinks the work of William Shakespeare is still being performed today, nearly 400 years after the playwright’s death in 1616…

Romeo & Juliet runs Wed 10 Sep – Sat 4 Oct at Victoria Baths. The production is now sold out. To join the waiting list please call Box Office on 0161 200 1500.
