Overview

A homeless ex-actor's remembrance of lines from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet reflects his own desperate situation on the hostile streets of London. A star turn from Michael Gough crowns this touching examination of homelessness, as the begrimed railway arches, markets, parks and cheerless streets of the contemporary capital provide the backdrop for the aimless wanderings of a fallen soul.
