http://www.bbc.co.uk/offbyheart In April 2011 BBC launched Off By Heart Shakespeare - a performance contest for 13-15 year olds to be filmed for a BBC Two documentary.

We challenged 10 celebrities to perform one of the speeches from the Off By Heart Shakespeare set speech list. In this clip Ashley Walters (Bullet Boy and Hustle) plays Romeo, from Romeo and Juliet, in search of this new love.

Watch Ashley Walters talk about his performance: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/teachers/offbyheart/speeches/romeo_juliet_yonder...
