Kings of Wessex School has chosen to give the Shakespeare classic Romeo and Juliet a modern twist depicting the Capulets and Montagues as 'chavs' and 'emos'.
Actors from year nine are preparing to get loved up for the production, which takes place on December 6 and 7.
The cast of more than thirty students, including Ben Champion as Romeo and Sophie Caunt as Juliet, will take to the stage four hundred years after the original play was written.
This modern version includes songs from Hard-Fi, Massive Attack and Justin Timberlake and draws loosely on school life.
Tickets, priced £3 for adults and £2 for students and concessions, are available at the school office.
