Nuffield, Southampton, at the Young Vic, vaudeville, London
Romeo and Juliet
accompanied by several parts of the school in Southampton - I was preparing for a noisy night to come. But Headlong, a traveling troupe of unpredictability generous offer by a school production to silence open and docile adults alike. Have a criminal in the classroom? It has nothing to what we have on stage. Everyone knows someone like Tom Mothersdale exhibitionists Mercutio - charismatic, insecurity, displaying velvet pants sticky. And we all knew the boys friends, fat drunk Danny Kirrane as Benvolio, swigging vodka until your eyes glaze over. But none of us saw a
Romeo and Juliet
like this before. What makes this such an extraordinary show is not his spirit, his clothes or his modern music (The Boomtown Rats hit "" I do not like Mondays "features), nor the liberties taken with the text (Shakespeare survives impassive.) is the emphasis on the power of puppy love. In the production unhindered Robert Icke, Romeo and Juliet are not trying to embody an ideal romantic sublime . Romeo, convincingly played by Daniel Boyd, is inexperienced, naive and a wearer of sandals. But when love comes, can not resist. And when he speaks of the most romantic lines from Shakespeare, one feels he is trying to language in the size, hoping to impress Juliet, the desire to be adult. Juliette Catrin Stewart is one of the most captivating and moving I've seen. His enthusiasm, joy, jump for joy that suggest the child who was just recently.
Headlong, whose artistic director is Rupert Goold, is the right company to deal with a love that is hasty and against the clock. Time dominates. A digital clock time should evades our eyes (designer: Helen Goddard). Experiences casting a step back. Some moments are boldly repeated as if to prove the truth of the line of Juliet. "One minute, there are several days" until the end, it is the sense that one more minute could have saved the day.
support actions are, without exception, incredible. Keith Bartlett oppressive Capulet is the salt of the earth. Lady Capulet Caroline Faber is well qualified. Laurence Simon Coates is a cleric Fray Zengeni modern entertaining and nurse Bridget is a scream. A shopaholic hot, indiscreet in patent yellow heels
But the stars have barely had time to shop around before coming to the end. Haste, in this production, led to the tragedy. When Romeo kills Tybalt, he is not thinking about the consequences. Even with Mercutio (not horrified surprise in the eyes of Stephen Fewell, when he realizes he is dying). Nobody understands the story to end in death. Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio and Tybalt - were only playing
The Changeling (1622) is that the game . This is so cool, violent and shocking antics, as if it were written today. And in the present costume of Joe Hill-Gibbins, production of Jacobean tragedy, something happens.
