ロミオとジュリエット

Today I saw Romeo and Juliet at the Noto Theater, and it was a phenomenal production! The acting was great and I was even able to understand a lot of what they said. I did not understand the first monologue at all, but after a few minutes I warmed up to listening to the actors and understood much more of the rest of the play. The acting was really good, the actors all conveyed their emotions so well. But the costumes were my favorite part- they were gorgeous! Every character was well dressed and the outfits were very detailed and beautifully made. Also in the second half of the play they actually opened the back of the stage and used the outdoors as part of their set! When the curtains opened we had a moment of disbelief wondering if that was really the outdoors we were seeing, and it sure was! They used the darkness, trees, and a wooden stair built back there as part of the set. It was so awesome because you could hear the bugs chirping and after a few minutes the cool, fresh air reached the audience and smelled wonderful. 

On our way out of the theater one of the girls in our group was stopped by a television crew for an interview, and right after that we were stopped by a newspaper reporter who wanted to interview us for his article!
