It is regrettably the case that regional accents tend to be introduced into productions of Shakespeare's plays (especially those from the RSC) to provide us with something to laugh at. How refreshing it is, then, to hear the robust tones of Glasgie in the mouth of the stage's greatest romantic hero, Romeo. Richard Madden, who has just graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, made a powerful impression as the doomed lover in the pacy and full-blooded touring production of Romeo and Juliet, from Shakespeare's Globe, which is beiong staged until August 16 in the gardens of Wadham College.

His scenes with the lovely Ellie Piercy, as Juliet, were tinged with passion that was tough as well as tender. There was no trace of dreamy dopiness about this lover. One sensed - as in all successful productions of this play - a robust sexuality that was entirely reciprocated by his partner.

Not for the first time, we were offered a man in the role of the Nurse, who is so important as a go-between for the young pair. In a neat piece of doubling, director Edward Dick also cast Eliot Shrimpton as Friar Lawrence, another friend to the lovers whose well-intentioned solution to their problems has such fateful consequences. Later in the play, when both characters are on stage together, Mr Shrimpton offered enjoyably comical quick-change routines, but this only added to the "Hey, let's put on a show" feel that characterised this production.

The action was set in and around a battered Volkswagen camper van, thus creating an impression of 'thesps on the road'. This was further heightened by the mismatched costumes - denim jeans at the bottom, velvet jerkins and other period styles on top.

The production is at Lord's Cricket Ground on September 2. (Box office: 020 7432 1000). Well worth a trip.
