The Romeo & Juliet Session

Topics and themes introduced and/or analyzed in The Romeo and Juliet Session:

Based on William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet"

Shakespeare comes to life in The Romeo & Juliet Session!  The bard directs a group of modern actors in his great romantic tragedy.  However, problems arise as Mr. Shakespeare’s sixteenth century attitudes and demeanor clash with those of the modern performers.  Arguments, discussion and enlightenment ensue!

Cyclone once again introduces students to one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays with stunning performances, historical background, discussion of major themes and audience participation and interaction.
