Romeo & Juliet - Stratford Festival Version

Antoine Yared as Romeo and
Sara Farb as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet.
CYLLA VON TIEDEMANN
Today is the HD Live version of Romeo & Juliet from Stratford, ON.

Here is a review from the Globe and Mail.

Just reading the review is a joy.  If you don't laugh when you read "My heart ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dummed" in the review, then you have probably forgotten all about iambic pentametre and how hard it was in junior high, but how easy now.  And I had forgotten the word ruff, though a quick trip to Wiki refreshed my mind about it.

I can hardly wait to see this production -- at 12:55 in Calgary.  How many times can this play be done and not loose its freshness.

More later.

  1. Stacy and I went (Duncan stayed home to play D&D with his crew). A joy to be in the theatre... even though the play did end badly (at least, for the characters...)
