Sadie Sink Reframes Juliet After Studying Her Soliloquies

Her choice shows a renewed commitment to theatre as London heat has begun to sap audience attention.

Overview

  • Sink is currently starring as Juliet Capulet in a West End production of Romeo and Juliet.
  • She told Nylon that she first hesitated to take the role because she pictured Juliet as a simple ingénue and wondered if the part had depth.
  • After studying the play’s soliloquies Sink decided the character has a rich inner life, and that insight convinced her to accept the part.
  • She said she relates to the play’s love story because she spends a lot of time alone and also affirmed that theatre will remain a priority alongside her television and film work.
  • Sink reported that a recent London heatwave drained audience focus during performances and that phone use and recording in the house have been a persistent frustration for her.
