This is a sample of the scenes you wrote and presented based on Act I, Scene i of Shakespreare’s Romeo and Juliet. Everyone was successful at maintaining the nuances of the meaning of the original script while adapting it for a contemporary ‘South London’ location. It’s a far cry from Verona, but not so far at all from Shakespeare’s own turf, after all.
“Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.” (Katherine Mansfield)
