R&J at one of the city's theatres. Quite good, some spot-on moments, bold concept. When you know these plays very well, and for some reason I still do--apparently they're near the center of the mind, and you're watching folks from another culture stage them, the mind divides between seeing what they excavate from their own cultural context to reveal and sensing the lines of gold and diamonds just beneath, or to the side, and wanting very much to point them out. Luckily, as an audience member, I have only one option there, and it's still quite enjoyable. Though a Love's Labours in the ex-Yu. concept has been percolating through my consciousness for some time now.
