Romeo and Juliet



Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by Shakespeare. The story tells the tale of two star crossed lovers. At the Globe, they are currently showing a production of the play. The interpretation of this play is very lively and happy. It was almost too happy. Everything was cheerful, the fights, the death scene, and the ending. I found the sword fighting entertaining though. The character of Juliet was very annoying to me. I found her to be whiny. However, I found the comedic parts to be very good.



Overall, I found this version of the play to be better than most versions. I thought that it was a humorous tragedy more than anything and although I did not enjoy standing the whole time, I found it more enjoyable than most versions of Romeo and Juliet.
