Romeo and Juliet, Abbey Ruins

Hmm. Not one of their best - they're fucking brilliant at the great dramas and comedies (Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, Richard III, As You Like It, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Merchant of Venice, so this one seemed very slight against it Still, got better as time went on, and the very awkwardness of R + J as a couple worked very well. You didn't ever get the impression that Romeo was a teenager, early twenties at the least, but Juilet - she was played as very awkward and stumbling and you thought '...actually, that's a damn good sheltered 13 year old who's got one of her first major crushes'.

Clothing : Regency Napoleonic.

Insert in the programme best EVER. : The Production Team offer their profuse apologies for the omission from the cast list to Rebecca Pitt who plays Juliet - Daughter of the Capulets.

:facepalm: Balthasar I could understand. Benvolio I could almost understand. But you'd think that at least the fecking *printer* would notice that that one of the title characters isn't listed.
