Two weeks ago, I was at the Regina Theatre and saw a play named “Och Juliet”. I assumed this was going to be like Romeo and Juliet. What I saw was not Romeo and Juliet.
Capulet’s and Montague’s are two rich families who hate each other. The Montague’s son named “Romeo” attends the Capulet’s party where he meets the Capulet’s daughter Juliet and both fall in love at first sight. They are getting married in secret and everything goes well until Juliet’s father wants her to marry someone else. Juliet fakes her own death to cancel the marriage. However, as soon as Romeo heard of Juliet’s death commits suicide. Juliet wakes up and discovers Romeo is dead, and somehow without any explanation Juliet becomes a celebrity.
I do think the actors did

It doesn’t work like that anymore. One of the major difference with this show is that all, all of the actors are constantly switching roles and often many of them are playing the same role at the same time. This made me really confused at first but then I got used to it. In my opinion the constant role switching was completely unnecessary and only made this confusing. They could have improved this play greatly by simply sticking to the …show more content…
However, the music was way too loud and I had to hold my ears. The show didn’t have any sound effects which I can remember.
I really did appreciate the lightning effects, it wasn’t too dark or too much light. I also have to give them credit for using a spotlight on the one talking at several times. Not to mention a scene where Romeo got into a fight with one of the Capulet’s when the light started flashing while they were fighting, due to the darkening when I didn’t see anything reminded of a comic where you see one thing in this picture and something else in another. The same however, did not apply to the costumes. Due to the “modern” clothes, it felt like they forgot to change costumes, I can’t say I’m impressed. They even wore bubble wrap at the end, it didn’t make things better. Maybe that’s meant to be some futuristic fashion but it rather looked like something you would find it dustbin, which made me think about their budget. I would prefer if they wore clothes like you did then, not what you would wear today for variance
In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since
However, when there were wardrobe changes, they were done with ease. Whenever I go to a show, I am always interested in the behind-the-scenes artifacts of the show. Although there is not always much to see, I was able to see some of the crew as they changed sets; however, most of the sets changed by themselves or by cast. The manner in which they presented themselves was discreet and
Two star-crossed lovers fall in love, but can’t be together because of their parent's long-lived feud with each other. The kingdoms of the Montagues and the Capulets takes place in Verona. Romeo the son of the Montagues falls madly in love with Juliet the Capulet’s only daughter. To try and help the two with their love story, a Friar, a nurse, a cousin, and a friend join Romeo and Juliet in this journey. In the end, nothing works out like you would think. Friends and family can only do so much, but sometimes the way you want a thing to turn out don’t always work that way. Benvolio should be punished in Romeo and Juliet because he told Romeo to go to the party and aqquire his head off of Rosaline, and Friar Laurence and the nurse should be pardoned
This play is about a boy named Romeo and girl named Juliet. Their family are mortal enemies so that means that they are always fighting with one another. At a Capulet party Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time not knowing who each other are, until later that night that they are enemies. They begin to fall in love with each other and get married after meeting for one night. Then the drama gets to their head and they kill themselves. In Romeo and Juliet Capulet’s and Montague’s, Friar Lawrence, and Balthasar are responsible for the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
“History is history. What is done is done” said Sister Souljah. The play “ Romeo and Juliet “ by William Shakespeare is about two teen from rival families that fall in love with each other but find out they can not be together; which ends in a tragic ending. Lord Capulet is responsible for Romeo and Juliet's death for three reasons. He doesn't let his daughter explain herself and is controlling over her. First, he practically wants Juliet to give up her life to someone she doesn't even like. Second, when Juliet states that she doesn't want to marry Paris, his response is very harsh. Third, he moves the wedding up, which causes Juliet to panic and go to Friar Lawrence for help.
“Romeo and Juliet” is a dramatic romance story that is full of love, hate, secrets, and lies. In Romeo and Juliet, the Capulets and the Montagues have a rivalry, a death penalty placed by the prince is threatened if the families have another brawl. At a Capulet party, Romeo and his friend, Mercutio sneak in, and he meets Juliet. They fall in love, and become married in secret, but Juliet is forced by her father to marry Paris after Romeo killed Tybalt, who is Juliets cousin. To avoid marrying Paris, Juliet fakes her death and Romeo thinks Juliet is honestly dead. He goes to her tomb and drink a potion that killed him almost instantly.When Juliet wakes up, she actually kills herself over the grief over Romeo being dead. In William Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet”, Friar Lawrence is ultimately to blame for the deaths of the protagonists, by cause of Friar encouraged them to secure their love, he neglected to inform both parties if his plan to fake Juliet’s death, and he left Juliet when she was extremely emotional.
The production elements of the show were magnificent. The costumes were great and helped to establish the childlike quality of the show and characters. During the transitions, the characters wore clothing that would best suit a child in play. The
Making the peach glow was an awesome touch. The size was big enough so that the actors and actresses could actually fit inside and the peach even had the half dome shape similar to if you cut a peach in half. The peach was truly represented as the main theme from the book and the movie and put into this production. To me the costume designs were good on the aspect of representation, but could have used more detail, as far as how bit the ladybugs body is and some costumes looked like it was meant to be a bug. The detail could have been added so there was no questions that actor or actress was playing the role of a certain
In this production the costumes did well to represent the characters and their personalities. For the character Emily in the beginning of the show she was wearing normal clothes that you would see any old day which is what she was planning on it being that day. Emily's costume was very realistic and this helped make the play more believable in the beginning and towards the end. somewhere around halfway through the production Emily was stripped of her clothes and given a new outfit, a red robe. This red robe adequately showed her struggle and how all of her dignity had been stripped away. The doctors, nurses, and amy also wore very realistic outfits for their current profession and role in the play. Even though many things played a part in this production it truly was the lighting and the set that brought true greatness to this piece. The lights themselves had a great impact on the piece and the way it was present. From the flashing lights, to the stable lights all of them were important. The red lights in particular helped the audience to see the struggle and the confusion happening inside Emily's mind and also allowed the audience to see that something is clearly wrong. In addition the flashing and moving lights successfully demonstrated the confusion going on in the character's head. There was only one issue with the lights that needs to be addressed and that is where they are exactly
I truly did feel a little panicked between the dim lights, the cannons going off that were filled with cotton and confetti. When it comes to theatre when one person says lights you automatically think of sound. This show, while it did not have many sound effects, it did have a few moments where the music would set the mood during particular scenes. One of the sound effects used were bird whistles. The whistles were extremely accurate to that of a bird’s chirp and helped give the illusion that there were physically birds in the room. Another tool used that was used during this show was the harp. The harp helped give the audience a sense of eeriness whenever the harp was played after the name M’Closky was spoken. All three of these scenic elements would not go very well unless they had a set to focus everything around. The set was very detailed; however, it was simple. There were only two stationary moving pieces which consisted of the dock and the backdrop. I think that the simplicity of the set did the show justice because it did not take away from the meaning the play invoked in the audience. The set had few scenic pieces such as movable vanities, crates, and chairs, which were not all on at the same time.
Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two star-crossed lovers, will do anything to show their deep affection for each other. Since they are from two different families, who happen to be enemies, they can be punished for expressing their love for one another. Unfortunately, their passion sparks many outrages. Due to Father Capulet’s feud with the Montague family, Romeo and Juliet's love life results in death.
Romeo, a young man from the Montague family, is in love with a woman named Rosaline but she has sworn to be a nun for the rest of her life. Romeo and his friend Benvolio happen to stumble across a Capulet worker named Peter, who is trying to read a list of invitations to a masked party at the Capulet house. Romeo helped Peter read the list and decides to attend the party because Rosaline will be there. He plans to wear a mask so that he will nobody will recognize him as a Montague. When Romeo arrived at the Capulet’s party in his costume he sees Juliet. It was love at first sight. However, Juliet's cousin Tybalt recognizes Romeo and wants to kill him on the spot. Lord Capulet gets involved, insisting that Tybalt does not disturb the party because it will anger the Prince. Romeo quietly approaches Juliet, talks to her and then they kissed. After the party, Juliet told her Nurse about Romeo and Juliet asked her Nurse to go find Romeo. When Juliet's’ Nurse tells Romeo that Juliet is a Capulet, he gets upset. Meanwhile, Juliet is similarly upset when she finds out that Romeo is a Montague. Later that night, Romeo climbs the wall into Juliet's garden. Juliet is standing on her balcony and speaks her thoughts out loud not knowing that Romeo is there. She wishes Romeo could marry her. Romeo hears her and
“A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; whose misadventured piteous overthrows do with their death bury their parents' strife.” (prologue)The Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. There was a longstanding family feud between the Capulets and Montagues, Lord Capulet holding power over everything Juliet did in her life, and their whole family was uptight, uncaring, and unreliable altogether. All these things led to the tragic death of these so called “lovers”.
Juliet’s father forces Juliet to marry Paris, and if she does not he threatens to leave her to ‘hang, beg, starve, die in the streets’. This arranged marriage with one she does not love compels Juliet to find an urgent resolution, and this resolution contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The families’ feud contributes to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, as they know that their relationship must remain unknown. The feud leads to delusion and deceit, and their eventual death. Ultimately, the feud between the families makes their deception necessary and inevitable; but this deception leads to their untimely deaths.
Romeo and Juliet first met each other at a party at the Capulets house. They fall in love with each other at the first sight without knowing that they are from families who hate each other, and when they do learn about it, it is too late. Juliet realizes that it was a mistake to fall in love with Romeo, because he is one of the people she should watch out for. He is her first and only love, but he is an enemy of her family. Lucky for Romeo, Juliet is smart, and such dumb thing as hate between their parents wouldn't stop her from loving Romeo and getting married with him. She is sorry that their families are enemies, though, because everything would be much easier if they weren't. So this is the first time when the hate between Capulets and Montagues becomes problem to Romeo and Juliets happiness. Only after their children die, the Montagues and Capulets come to their senses. The Prince accuses them of killing Romeo and Juliet. The Prince makes them see how wrong they were all the time, that all because of their hate, because they couldn't let their children love each other, Romeo and Juliet died. After that, Capulets and Montagues decide to call it quits. No more fighting, and Montague even says that he will make a gold statue of Juliet, but what is that going to do? It is too late, nothing will bring them back. It is totally Capulets' and Montagues' fault that Romeo and Juliet died. If they didn't hate each other so much,
