Romeo and Juliette Creative Play Review

Romeo and Juliet
Stage Adaption Personal Response
Characters:
• Saxon Redford
• Evangeline Green
Saxon: “Hey what’s up? You saw the play right?”
Eva: “No Saxon I didn’t, I was just sitting there with my eyes closed the whole time. What do you think?”
Saxon: “Hey chill! I was just asking! Well then, what did you think about it?”
Eva: “I obviously loved it! Everyone played their parts so perfectly! Mercutio was even more hilarious in the play then in the book! I love how they made Juliet act more like an actual thirteen year old, they made her a little less mature then from the script. And toning down Romeo’s dramatic nature seriously made them seem better for each other. I adore them together…”
Saxon: “You liked it that much? They took off some of the bawdy humor though, and even some of the scenes.”
Eva: “Of course you noticed the missing of bawdy humor Sax! That’s just like you! They had to take some scenes off, or else it would be to long! They made the play more romantic this way. ”
Saxon: “Oh please as if nobody else noticed, I’m just glad they kept in the part where the Nurse goes to ask Romeo of his answer, man Mercutio is my idol! A sail! A sail! ”
Eva: “You’re horrible! That was the worse impression of Mercutio I’ve ever heard.”
Saxon: “Are you seriously saying that you didn’t find that part funny? They made it just like the script.”
Eva: “Well yeah it was pretty funny, but it was only because of the way the actors played it. Of course along with poor nurse’s response to it was hilarious. If the actors couldn’t act well then it wouldn’t have been half as funny.”
Saxon: “Fine I’ll give you that one; if the actors weren’t able to pull it off the whole play would have seriously sucked. I mean, imagine if they got this skinny blond twig as the nurse instead? Man would have been a fail right there.”
Eva: “Yup they chose the actors awesomely too! Did you see Romeo? Exactly as I imagined it, well a older version of what I imagined anyway. I still think that Tybalt should have taken off his shirt.”
Saxon: “Oh looks like you got some drool better wipe that off, want me to help?”
Eva: Shut up Saxon! I do not! No I really don’t want your help, if you were Tybalt on the other hand...”
Saxon: “Oh man! Don’t finish that sentence! I liked the guy because of that fighting scene that was wicked, now don’t ruin it. I honestly don’t want to hear about your fantasies of him. So please, spare me”
Eva:” Shut up Saxon! Nobody asked you! But you know apparently on the other times he didn’t wear a shirt! The one time I come to watch the play, they give him a shirt. Go figure”
Saxon: “I liked him better with the costume; did you see the shirt he was wearing before the intermission? The stains on them were spreading out! When the intermission came on I was honestly on edge waiting for what was coming next.”
Eva:”Yeah I know right? They put the intermission on the best place. Yeah, I guess his shirt was pretty cool. All the costumes suited them perfectly; you know the actor playing Tybalt also played Paris right? With the costumes I didn’t even notice until afterwards”
Saxon: “Exactly! I’m glad about the costumes, or else I wouldn’t have been so confused. I swear that bald guy was playing like fifty different roles!”
Eva: “Aren’t you always confused? Yeah I know the bald guy was everywhere!
Saxon: “I think the play was pretty good, better than reading the lines out in class”
Eva: “Yeah it was amazing, but I don’t know if I like it better than just reading it. I liked seeing what I saw in my head come to life though”
Saxon:”Knowing the things in your head, I hope this is the only time they will ever come to life…”
Eva:”Saxon-“
Saxon:”Yeah yeah I know, I’m shutting up now.”
