Romeo and Juliet: Maynardville 2024

"That was without a doubt, the best rendition of Romeo and Juliet I have ever seen (and I watched it at the Globe theatre in London). I was captivated from the first minute and started crying with about 30mins still to go, even though I knew how it was going to end. Juliet was amazing! Her heart break was a visceral, palpable thing. Mercutio stole the show for me. The actress who played the part was phenomenal and her tone was exactly right. Overall I would highly recommend anyone going to see this, even if you are not a Shakespeare fan. Well done to the cast, director, back stage crew and everyone else involved. 10 out of 10 ! "
