The Daily Mail directs us to this sensitive notice on the Globe theatre’s website:

 â€˜This production contains depictions of suicide, moments of violence and references to drug use. It contains gunshot sound effects and the use of stage blood.

‘If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this production of Romeo and Juliet please find details below of organisations offering advice and support.’ 

How did Shakespeare fail to warn us first?
