Romeo and Juliet at BYU

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to see BYU's rendition of Romeo and Juliet. It was set in New York from 1870-1900, rather than in Shakespeare's time, had added choreography, and a few line changes adapted to the time period to help it make sense. What I enjoyed most about the play was Juliet and her nurse's acting, played by Christie Clark and Brighton Sloan. They portrayed their characters very well, and I could really feel the emotion coming off the stage. Sloan's acting especially added humor to the play.
