Dude where’s my shoe?
So me and a very good girl friend decided to gorge ourselves with a pre- theater and a bottle of red before we set of to the Citizens Theater in Glasgow to go see The Shakespeare tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
The production was held by Glasgow’s Reids College final year acting students and by my standards; I would say they all passed with flying colours.
This was the first time I had been to the Citizens Theater so I wasn’t sure what to expect but there wasn’t a dry eye in the house especially at the end of the night when I realized I had lost a shoe! How on earth I hear you say… well, as I was getting into the whole.. ‘oh romeo oh romeo’ I had kicked my shoes off and made my self comfortable. At the end of the production only one shoe.. no idea what happened to the other one! Taxi!
Anyways, an excuse to buy new shoes.
The production was fabulous. Rather than the ‘the greatest love story ever told’ the Shakespeare’s text was more relevant to our youth, in a climate plagued with knife crime, ASBO’s and gang culture, The Production was an edgy and very tense interpretation the playwright’s message and it still had a lesson to teach us.
I like getting another take on something (Leona Lewis Snow Patrol- ok not that one) and the Citizens Theater certainly don’t that! We left the there thinking ‘WaW… How good was that’
Did anyone else go to this?
Find a shoe?
