Sink & Jupe's Romeo & Juliet: Barely Rehearsed!

Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe are preparing to embody Romeo and Juliet for a new West End production opening March 16 at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Despite the imminent premiere of Shakespeare's tragedy, the young actors have confessed to only two rehearsals, including a chemistry read and a photoshoot for promotional materials. Sink, widely known for her role as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things, is making her highly anticipated West End debut. Her participation was significantly influenced by a four-hour meeting with director Robert Icke. Jupe, who recently starred in the critically acclaimed film Hamnet, is returning to Shakespeare after playing an actor portraying Hamlet. Hamnet, which also featured Jupe's younger brother, garnered critical praise and won Best Motion Picture for Drama at the Golden Globes. The production is scheduled to run for three months in London.
