That might be the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.
YES!!!
I second that emotion.
I didn’t think Shakespear could be improved on but this might just do it.
A feathery take on the classic Romeow and Drooliet.
These Romews are equal opportunity lovers, apparently…. LOVE both versions.
😀 😀
Well, Romeo was kind fickle, anyway. Remember he was all hung up on Rosaline until he saw Juliet.
Better than the sequel they’re pushing on ABC this season.
I’ve seen a lot of adaptations and transpositions of the works of The Bard but that one looks like the worst piece of crap ever produced .
Some of the behind the scene twists and large Italian politics/warfare aren’t bad but the base story doesn’t resonate like it used to. And this production is one shade better than say, Reign. That’s not a compliment.
As a friend put it: It’s about a rebound romance between two teens too stupid to live.
A love story that leaves six people dead in a matter of days. Not the stuff of which Mills and Boon/Harlequin romances are made!
Bring back Colley Cibber, I say!
I always thought the families were the Meowtagues and the Quackulets. I could live with version of the play.
Romeow’s friend is Mercatio, of course.
Alas, poor Corgrick! I knew him, Horseatio, a fellow of infinite joust.
Hey! That’s from Hamylet!
I hear next season they’re doing Droolius Caesar.
Droolius Caesar! Sponsored by whichever large corporations can figure out the difference between fiction and non-fiction!
To say nothing of knowing how to read a play and understand its anti-assassination, be careful what you wish for message. face-palm
Ack! There I go mixing my metamorphosis.
I thought it was the Montamews.
MontaMEWs and Quackulets
Cutetropolis has a playhouse? Where do I get crickets – I mean, tickets? I love Shakespaw’s plays.
Oh is this Shakespurr?
I thought it is a photo from Duckie’s family album. (Duckie has mentioned that Mr Duckie is a nice guy) Maybe this is an old photo of them from the time they started dating. What a handsome husband btw.
This is pretty much the only way you can make a better version of a Shakespeare play than the musical version of Hamlet (set to Barber of Seville) from that one episode of Gilligan’s Island.
