a different twist to an old story, Shakespeare develops his characters to perfection, adding qualities that are human but fictional. With a technique utterlyhis own, Shakespeare captivates and enchants his audiences with this tale of woe. The appeal of the play to me was that of the development of themes and characters. Adding almost a touch of melodrama to this show, are characters cutout of specific molds. Yet from these molds we see underlying shadows and depth that is not originally expected. You can see the story unfold without even looking up from each page. Realistic is a word that would best describe Romeo and Juliet, for the audience can imagine a number of real life scenarios that would mirror the very pattern of this play. This show is an entertaining and engaging tale of tragedy. I immensely enjoyed reading, seeing, and performing it. Romeo and Juliet is an invaluabledrama that will continue to trouble, move, and captivate its audiences for decades to come....
