Rated 4.0

A solid production of the Shakespeare classic as presented by the Davis Shakespeare Ensemble, under the direction of Rob Salas. Gabby Battista is romantic and stubborn as Juliet while Kyle Stoner gives an energetic performance as Romeo. The show is presented as a story circle, in modern dress; this production is marred only by unrelenting, irritating recorded background music.
