Parting is such sweet sorrow
Written by The Reader, 27th August 2010

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!
