Director
Romeo and Juliet / Shakespeare
Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory & tour
“Thrilling work’” ★★★★ The Guardian
“The decision to fully embrace and perform Romeo and Juliet as a teenager’s play is at the heart of why Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory’s latest performance is so majestically good.” EXEUNT
"Under the direction of young Russian director Polina Kalinina it works as a visceral thrill ride as heady as that of first love…With its 'star is born' central turn and youthful vitality to burn this Romeo and Juliet is a bullseye for Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory.” ★★★★ WhatsOnStage
