S4K ROMEO: "My husband and I took our (reluctant) ten year old son and our eleven year old (slightly more reluctant!) nephew to watch Romeo and Juliet at The Lowry theatre. Wow! The performance of the company was truly outstanding. Both boys were immediately captivated ('Star Wars' style intro - genius idea!) and remained that way throughout (allowing for the odd embarrased squirm during the 'mushy bits'!). You have a talented group of people who really help children understand that Shakespeare isn't something to be afraid of but to be thoroughly enjoyed. I'll certainly be taking them to other performances and as a school governor, will be recommending you to our head teacher. In such a talented group it's difficult, almost unfair, to pick out one particular actor but if you could possibly pass on my regards to the actor who played the part of Mercutio I would be grateful - the boys absolutely adored him - as did the whole theatre! What a talent! |
