Set in a glossy Verona circa 1301, Juliet & Romeo opens with a storybook-style prologue and a narrator who spells out the plot right away. Shakespeare’s original language is largely stripped away—only to reappear sporadically, often in jarring or unintentionally comic bursts.

Here it is.” It was a small but telling moment of an artist who deeply values his community.
