In another HD screening from the London stage, the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company presents “Romeo and Juliet” in a modern, passionate, and black and white version of Shakespeare’s heartbreaking tale of forbidden love that the Daily Mail says has “a pulsating energy.” Branagh co-directs with Rob Ashford, reuniting with the stars of his film version of “Cinderella,” Richard Madden and Lily James, as the star-crossed young lovers, Sir Derek Jacobi as Mercutio, and Meera Syal as The Nurse.
