A Rose By Any Other Name..

Romeo and Juliet was REALLY good.
I can't even talk about it on here because it won't do it justice.
Shakespeare in class and from the book is NOTHING like Shakespeare on stage..
"What light through yonder breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun" was always a cool line, but when you actually see it in context it's suddenly so much clearer.
Romeo was really hot. Damn I was I was Juliet. Er well, the actor who plays her so as to avoid that whole tragic death part...
The end was a little abrupt and they had the wrong character deliver the line for some reason so I didn't find it all that effective.. but the rest of it was great.
The swordplay was awesome.. when someone did an aside or a couple of characters in a crowded place were talking the lights would change and everyone around them would go in slow motion.. and they'd always start up right as someone was making a dramatic thrust with their sword.. it was a REALLY awesome effect to see.
The music was always VERY effective.
Apparently it was a lot better than the Stratford version, it was very animated and they emphasized the humour (esp. the sexual humour lol) though obviously the old guy behind me who snored the whole way through didn't think so.

Him to his wife: That was really good.
Me: Yeah, I could hear you snoring
Him: WHAT? [to his wife:] you were supposed to nudge me if I did that!!

haha anyways..
Theatre is SO hot.
I always want to bang the actors. But only if I don't see them off stage, because I've noticed that the really hot actors on stage look like crap off-stage lol

Anyways, despite the work I should have been getting done, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I just wish I had more enlightening things to say, but I'm still in the "wow that was good" shock stage lol
