Cast Interview
The cast and Assistant Director of Romeo and Juliet talk about how it feels to be back in actual productions, rehearsing the play in only 60 hours, and which Shakespearean character they all want to play
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume
― Friar Laurence, Romeo & Juliet
