Comparing William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Performing for the Audience

Two months ago I went two see a play called Romeo and Juliet. It was a romantic play filed with lots of love and hate amongst two different families. The play took placed at a modern time more like in today’s society, but with the language of Shakespeare. It was very unique with lots of modern fashion which I really liked and the club scenes was very nice but was also un- expecting in some cases for instance, there was a scene a club scene with people dancing and smoking weed. My set was not far from the main stage therefore; I could smell the weed. The main actors and actress was very unique because, it was my first time seeing an African American women portraying Juliet her mother was Caucasian and her father was also African American. Her family was very rich and powerful unlike Romeos character who was very down to earth and was not as rich as Juliet he was sort of middle class.

When she leaps she lands in a perfect position on Romeo. Her posture was very straight unlike the character of Romeo who posture was very laid
