Book Reviews of Shakespeare's R&J - Acting Edition
Book Review: Absolutely Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Set in the world of a repressed Catholic school, 4 boys discover Shakespeare's incredible love story of Romeo and Juliet. What starts off as an introductory reading of the text becomes an impassioned and honest performance of the piece without the restrictions of gender, race, or sexuality. With 95% of Shakespeare's own words being used, Calarco brilliantly adds his own words and stage direction to subtly convey commentary on a variety of social issues. It's a great play for actors and an even better play for a director.
