One
(but not only) reason we chose to offer this DVD is the
combat scene between Tybalt, Romeo and Mercutio in Act III, Scene
1 is one of the best (if not THE best) piece of stage combat chorography
ever. Period!
Just this one scene is worth twice
the price. If you’re a director, you WILL want to have your
Combat Master take a look at this work.
If your an actor, this will help you see
how truly amazing stage combat can be.
“A
plague o' both your houses! They have made worms' meat of me.” Mercutio
Romeo
and Juliet on DVD
This is a spirited, simple production of one of the Bard’s
greatest plays.
Shakespeare's
ageless tale of family feuds, star-crossed lovers and tragic, untimely
death is vividly captured in this memorable production of ROMEO
& JULIET.
In the gentle streets of fair Verona, a clash of servants between
the warring Montagues and Capulets sets the wheels of fate in motion.
At a masked ball, the lovelorn Rome spies the beautiful Juliet and
the two soon fall madly in love, only to feel despare once their
true identities are revealed. Matters worsen when Romeo slays Tybalt,
a nephew of the Capulets and is banished from the city. Only the
intervention of a loyal friar and nurse can right the course of
true love. But will it be in this life or the next?
Produced by Britain's distinguished Thames Television, this interpretation
of Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET features a sparkling,
youthful cast (Christopher Neame as Romeo and Ann Hasson as Juliet),
simple sets and colorful costumes that bring you straight into the
heart of the world's favorite love story.
Priced right so you can see a production of R & J with working
actors (not mega-stars), and very nice production with simple staging
and costumes.
NOTE:
If you have never directed, or acted in, a production of
Romeo and Juliet, this is THE DVD for you. Simple
but effective staging and crystal clear interpretation of the text
make this production a feast of ideas and the perfect “jumping
off point” for the director and/or actor. You will
not be disappointed!
