The differences between modern-day flirting and the courtships of yesteryear are explored in the most comical yet thought-provoking way and in an illuminating style, the whims and wild imaginings of teenagers are studied. In A Tale of Two Balconies, modern Romeo/Juliet and Shakespearean Juliet/Romeo share with us the agony of love in a one act comedy that boldly puts the ‘crossed’ in ‘star-crossed’ as the two couples intertwine in a quirky retelling of the dramatic classic. Sorry, love, the old Romeo can’t come to the phone right now – he’s too busy thinking of the paths to his beloved’s (Juliet’s) heart …but the new Romeo can come to the phone, in fact he’s glued to it ‘cause the hot Juliet, is on the other line.
Loved it.A TALE OF TWO BALCONIES – MODERN ROMEO AND JULIET COMEDY Really amazed how you played so many parts with only 3 people. I can’t remember when I was last so entertained.
It’s the first time I’ve ever understood the play. Thank you very much for a truly priceless play. I have never seen a better Shakespearean production in my fifteen years of existence. A wonderful interpretation of a well loved play.Ībsolutely fantastic. Can’t speak highly enough! Humour and pathos, tragedy and wonder.Ī wonderful show – both highly amusing and at times most moving. Now want to seriously read the text and relook at the whole story. Totally and completely brilliant – best evening’s entertainment 4 just ages. Truly Shakespearean mixture of low comedy and high drama. This show would have been great when I was studying R&J for GCSE. I don’t like Romeo and Juliet that much, but you brought it alive. Something really different, whilst remaining true to the script. I’m studying the play at GCSE, and really admire the way you emphasised both the highly funny, and tragic moments amazingly. The fun does not detract from the tragedy of it all – a fine balance.Ībsolutely stunning.
Your interpretation makes me wonder if this is how it should be done. This has shown a new meaning of R&J that even Will himself would have enjoyed. What an incredibly brilliant and original production! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and particularly liked the way you involve the audience.Ībsolutely brilliant! It was nothing I imagined it would be!Ī most brilliant performance. “ reveals that wonderful art of being able to laugh, with others, at ourselves” Would that Shakespeare was performed this way when I was at school!” “A fascinating interpretation…moving and innovative. “A side-splitting production – creates a novel and highly memorable version of the star-crossed lovers." “A wonderful sense of play - One of the most enjoyable and hilarious productions I have seen – inspiring.”
