Romeo
& Juliet
What the Critics Said:
“Rejoice….If you have been yearning to experience
the authentic flavor of this great romantic drama
without any distracting hokum, here is your opportunity….the
essential key to the success of this no-frills ‘R&J’
is the director’s casting of Andy Butterfield and
Julia Motyka in the title roles. Both bring boundless
energy that infuses every scene in which they appear,
adding joy to their courtship, poignancy to their
tragic fate. Currier has them running and skipping
about the stage, words tumbling over each other as
if there is never time to express all the emotion
that is roiling within their youthful bodies. When
they die, it is the extinguishing of two bright flames…”
