Maitland Repertory Theatre presents ‘Romanoff and Juliet’

Peter Ustinov’s play, is set in the smallest of all mythical countries, lying smack on the border between East and West. The country is so small that it has a standing army of two and the army doesn’t even stand, but slouches. Lying as it does right between the East and the West, each of these world divisions seeks to make the President an ally.

Russia sends an ambassador, a Romanoff, no less, and the U.S. dispatches one of its typical business diplomats. Full of the most delightful comic satire on Cold War international affairs, the play follows the frustrated romance between the son of the Russian ambassador and the daughter of the American ambassador against a background of inept diplomacy.

Romanoff and Juliet is a special short run by Reamus Theatre and is not included in the 2024 season program.

Bookings for individual plays open about 2 months before the show, when you can call or book online.
