Four young prep school students, tired of going through the usual drill of conjugating Latin and other tedious school routines, break out a copy of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and they all take turns reading the play aloud. The Bard’s words and the story itself are thrilling to the boys, and they become swept away. Perceptions and understanding are turned upside-down as the fun of play-acting turns serious, and the words and meanings of the play begin to hit home and universal truths emerge. “The most inventive re-imagining of a classic in years,” raved The Wall Street Journal. [NOTE: For mature audiences only.]
