This play is highly entertaining! The actors were absolutely great with their costume and accent changes. I loved the band that was playing continuously throughout the play above the stage. Talented group of artists. Two negatives - woman taking tickets was a bit rude and the washrooms were out of order due to a flood in the basement.

In an innovative new production, incorporating contemporary music and dance, Romeo & Juliet is at its most creative, brash, and relevant

The Deal

Romeo and Juliet

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl defy their families to be together: it’s not an unfamiliar story. What sets Romeo & Juliet apart is what happens next. It’s an ending that defies spoiler warnings—Sergei Prokofiev, Leonardo DiCaprio, and high-school literature teachers everywhere have made the finale famous—but knowing what’s coming doesn’t make it any less devastating. The double-suicide, brought about by bad luck, worse timing, and some faulty communication, becomes all the more tragic when you consider their ages: Juliet is just under 14, Romeo not much older.

That heartbreak, and the lush language that precedes it, is exactly what makes the play so unforgettable—but its countless adaptations haven’t hurt. In Classical Theatre Project’s take, there’s certainly a reverence for the source material, but also a brash redefinition of it. Here, a modern Juliet is the center of the story, and her spoken memories and musings drive the plot. But she’s not the only modernized aspect of the show. Loud music and a mishmash of Elizabethan and contemporary costumes join an innovative lighting scheme wherein characters highlight themselves and shift into focus with the use of handheld flashlights. The result: a thought-provoking twist on a classic that explores the concepts of free will and fate.
