Hollywood star Tom Holland will play Romeo in Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” in London’s West End later this year. The “Spiderman” star announced his new gig at the Duke of York’s Theater in a post on Instagram, marking his return from a mental health break. “Tom Holland is Romeo in Jamie Lloyd’s pulsating new vision of Shakespeare’s immortal tale of wordsmiths, rhymers, lovers and fighters,” the tagline on the production’s website reads. The show will run from May 11 to August 3, and tickets will go on sale on February 13. Other cast members have not yet been announced. The engagement will be Holland’s first since he announced in June last year that he was taking a break from acting to protect his mental health.
