Shakespeare's classic story of star-crossed lovers is one of Synetic's landmark productions, and the recipient of two Helen Hayes Awards in 2009. The company revisits the passionate and lyrical production with stunning physicality. Set within the gears of a giant clock, Synetic's adaptation explores the untimely nature of one of literature's greatest love stories. The gears of the clock become the world -- the church, the balcony and the mausoleum all transform before the eyes. Using shadows, props, mime, dance, sinuous combat and passionate acting, Romeo and Juliet is a heart-stopping thrill.

My first trip to the Synetic Theater - a very new experience to me, but one I enjoyed very much. Lots of action and expression, even though there wasn't a word spoken. I had no problem following nuances in the story, something I found easy after having read the synopsis in the program immediately before the show (my wife didn't and wished she had).

This is the second Romeo and Juliet production I have seen by Synetic Theater. I loved the first one, and I liked the one last night, but not as much as the first one I saw. It did not seem to have as much dancing as the first one, but that could just be my bad memory!

Synetic's performances are ones I go out of my way to attend, and this one did not disappoint. Wordless Shakespeare is what they do best, and R&J is another unforgettable show. Sort of sadly, as their popularity grows, their tickets show up on Goldstar less frequently. When they do, buy immediately and rearrange your schedule later!
