Sadie Sink, Noah Jupe, and Clare Perkins in *Romeo & Juliet* (Manuel Harlan)

London's new revival of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has officially opened, and the reviews are rolling in! The production, which plays the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End, co-stars Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe. The extended run is set to continue through June 20.

Robert Icke directs a cast led by Sink (John Proctor is the Villain, Stranger Things) as Juliet and Jupe (Hamnet) as Romeo. The performance marks the West End debut for Stranger Things star Sink, who acted on Broadway as a child in the 2012 revival of Annie and more recently gave a Tony-nominated performance in John Proctor is the Villain last season. Icke was most recently represented on Broadway with the transfer of his Olivier-winning take on Oedipus, which he both adapted and directed.
