We have all seen this play a hundred times before, so for Angela Chaplin to get someting new from this production at the Hayman was bound to be difficult, but with Emily Brennan as Juliet she did just that. Juliet was portrayed as the very young innocent teenager that she was, fawning, giggly, with a big crush on her cousin Romeo - Ian Meadows. With very strong perfomances from the leads and Zilla Turner - the nurse, Renato Fabretti - Mercutio and Crispian Chan as Tybalt the show flowed nicely.

The presentation was superb, with excellent lighting and a simple but very effective set.

I too am a member of the spelling and grammar police, and must defend the spelling of my friend (and fan - cheers Chesterton):

"pronounce
pronouncing
pronouncedly
pronouncement...

proNUNciate
proNUNciational

(mis)proNUNciation: the act or the reult of producing sounds of speech, including articulation, vowel and consonant formation, accent, inflection and intonation, often with reference to the correctness or acceptability of the speech sounds"
