Congratulations to everyone involved. The whole set up was amazing and many thanks for spending three hours wathching such a powerful performance. Looking forward to the next venture.
That photo is heartbreaking, wish I could have seen the performance! Congratulations to the actress playing Juliet; marvellous expression.
Was it the ‘balcony scene’ (as per your quote), though? It looks more like Juliet’s farewell to the banished Romeo after their one night together – I’d love to know, do tell, please!
No, it’s not actually the balcony scene – you’re right to pick up on that. The quote should really be: “O think’st thou we shall ever meet again?”
I should change that, really!
Thanks, Jen – what a tribute to Helen Webster, you can read those lines in her face: wonderful!
