| Description |
The setting is timelessly contemporary - weapons are both swords and guns. Costumes range from casual for the young to formal for the more powerful adults. The text has been adapted so we see it through the eyes of Romeo's cousin, Benvolio. It's his act of memory that brings the actors from behind Foster's intricately woven, cage-like set into the light. |
