Romeo & Juliet

There were many highlights. Andy Butterfield's athletic ascent of Juliet's balcony, which had him flying like a bird into a virile mid-air pull-up, made the women swoon. We watched Julia Motyka seem to grow up before our eyes, girlish antics turning into womanly determination and soulfulness. And Darren Bridgett as a drunken Mercutio almost falling off the garden wall as a love-besotted Romeo lurked below unseen was a brilliant blocking choice.
