--The actors got really into their characters. Juliet, in the play for example who was probably in her middle 20's, really had to act like a 14 year old girl and this was done through her giggles and active and energetic movements. The setting of the play was very simple, yet practical; and it was utilized very well. Although the play was a tragedy they accentuated Shakespeare's sexual humors in the play
*Shopping and F***ing - Sept. 15 '09
--In your face theatre? :: To portray very sensitive issues or themes in the society in an an unsubtle manner; strongly visualizing to the audience these sensitive issues. They use shock and vulgarity to give a powerful impact to the audience.
