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.

Hi Talei

No, haven't had a chance yet, too busy getting this show up and running. Thanks for the nice comment....we're having fun and the audiences seem to be generally enjoying it and going away having had a decent laugh.
I'm intending to get to R&J on one of our Mondays off...where better place to go on your night off after a week of performing in a park by the river than to see another crowd do a performance in a park by the river?

Cheers,
Craig
