Shakespeare's R & J October 20, 2006

This is a vibrant, hot-blooded new adaptation of Shakespeare's immortal story of adolescent love and rebellion. In a regimented Catholic prep school where the Bard's works are banned from the reading list, four boys fall upon a forbidden copy of 'Romeo & Juliet.' They secretly act out the tragic tale of star-crossed lovers, intoxicated by the beauty of the play's classic poetry, first playing then becoming their characters and, in the process, discovering themselves.
