-regarding Romeo & Juliet

This production, directed by Barbra Berlovitz, (Founding Artistic Director Theatre de la Jeune Lune: 1979-2006) emphasized the violent, passionate, animalistic, organic nature of Shakespeare's love story.

The lighting mimicked natural sources throughout, but, in keeping with the passionate nature of the production, featured baking sun, penetrating sunrises and revealing moonlight pierced by a shaft of light from Juliet's room.
