Trinity Western University opened its first show of the season with Romeo & Juliet. For those who don't remember, in July (when I just started this whole blogging thing) I was just finishing off THE VERONA PROJECT, which was also an adaptation of R&J. So I'm still at the point where I can remember all of my lines from the show, which made the viewing experience very interesting. It was a luxury to compare and contrast the shows. Granted, I technically never really saw the show I was in - as I was busy performing in it. So when I watched the moment tonight when Romeo and Juliet saw each other for the first time, and was taken aback by how beautifully performed and directed it was, I couldn't help but wonder if ours managed to have that same affect.
What I do know is that the TWU production was very well put together. The direction was great (as was to be expected by award-winning director Angela Konrad) and the performances were extremely impressive. It was definitely worth the trip out to Langley for this one. I'm just so glad that I had a ride!!!
