content: This is absoloutely dire. I've tried several times but can't get past the first 3 scenes. I'm glad I read the play before watching this or I would have been put off forever. To say it's a modern adaptation doesn't really describe it - it's more like a pantomime version with Montagues and Capulets not just as rival gangs but as owners of the town, with their respective names in lights on tall buildings. Its only insight is into the producer's self-aggrandisement. Yuk!
