supported Manchester United.
Six months later, back in Manchester, Joe got a

Saturday 14 September, 7.30pm
Europa, a beautiful Phoenician princess, is
abducted by Zeus in the guise of a bull. He
forces her to undertake a perilous journey
over the Mediterranean to Crete.
This retelling of an ancient myth will
explore how the tension between Eastern
sophistication and Western vitality engenders
an eclectic European identity. A brand-new
play and exhibition identifies links between
Mediterranean and Celtic folklore and how
the powerful image of the bull resonates from
the works of Titian, Rembrandt and Picasso to
the branding of fast cars and energy drinks.
An international artistic collaboration
will celebrate the contribution made by
island communities from as far afield
as the Aegean and the Hebrides to the
advancement of civilisation. New twists
to deeply rooted cultural traditions
will encapsulate a refreshingly modern
European perspective.

Bard In The Botanics
ROMEO & JULIET
by William Shakespeare
Tuesday 1 October, 1pm matinee & 7.30pm
An ancient feud between the Capulets and
Montagues rips apart the city of Verona. A young
generation, caught up in its violence and hatred,
perpetuates a situation over which they have no
control. When Romeo and Juliet, children of the two
mortal enemies, meet and fall passionately in love,
they set in motion a chain of events that will destroy
not only themselves but many of their friends.
Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, this 5-star
production retells Shakespeare’s enduring story
through the eyes of a younger generation betrayed
by their elders and struggling to make sense of their
emotions in a world they haven’t created.
