ROMEO AND JULIET

Directed by Thomas Ouellette
Orlando Shakespeare Theater

“…this was a noteworthy performance”

“Director Ouellette plays loose and fast with the text, sometimes getting big laughs out of small lines…”

“…the production pushes in a few new directions. The show opens with the bodies of the lovers on the tomb, and the flashes back to the ‘real opening’…. It’s good to try new things with such a well-known piece as R&J, and these experiments left the cast plenty of room to do what makes this a perennial favorite – teens acting like teens and people killing each other for the most trivial of reasons: local politics.” – Archikulture Digest
