Verse * tights * codpiece * lights. Romeo and Juliet meets Monty Python in this hilarious comedy of errors from multiple award-winning British verse playwright phenomenon, Ryan J-W Smith.

First produced here at the Roman Theatre in St. Albans in 2001, Sweet Love Adieu has subsequently been produced many times by various companies, including at the Edinburgh Fringe, in New Jersey, North Carolina, Cleveland, and off-Broadway in Theatre Row on 42nd Street in New York.

The play was nominated for the Hollywood Fringe International Award 2016.

This play features risque humour, sexual innuendo and mention of sexual assault, so may not be suitable for younger audiences.
