In the midst of testing and bringing the school year to a close, a bunch of some twenty Global Village enthusiasts are busy staging Romeo and Juliet again. This time we are attempting the entire text of our heavily, alas, simplified version, but we are putting it on outdoors so that more people could join us and have fun. The two main characters are played by new actors, otherwise most of the last year’s cast has remained the same. And there’s lots of live music added to give the play a more contemporary feel. Rehearsing it is a bit of a stunt itself, since it’s practically impossible to bring the whole cast, all from different schools, together at a given time. The only way we could possibly have them all for a rehearsal is to encourage them to play truant. This week we are taking rehearsals to the location.
