The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

(Sydney Theatre Company)

William Shakespeare's popular tale of the young lovers from warring families and their doomed relationship.

This production of 'Romeo and Juliet' is set in modern dress and on a revolving set that spins, at times, at a dizzying pace.

There are strong performances particularly from Eryn Jean Norvill (Juliet), Julie Forsyth (Nurse), Eamon Farren (Mercutio) and Colin Moody (Capulet). Our Romeo was a little underwhelming to begin with although he improved as the play progressed.

Overall, quite an enjoyable and generally well acted production.

★★★1/2
