BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING: ROMEO & JULIET
But wait, what's that glimmering through the window over there? It's Romeo and Juliet, the cute boy and his crush.
Bringing the most famous lovers of all time to the stage? I’m in! A grand story with even grander emotions and a dramatic death – that’s the stuff theatre dreams are made of. The members of the drama club haven’t yet seen Shakespeare’s original on stage, but they have a thousand images of Romeo & Juliet in their heads. Just like the rest of us. But what does this ill-fated couple have to do with our present day? What about you, about me? Everything? Nothing? Or perhaps they don’t need to – have anything to do with us at all?
