  1. To be totally honest I found the play to be a bit boring. They never changed the background so I found this very unprofessional. I also didnt like how they tried to modernize the play because the jokes were just not that funny. The costumes were very unrealistic and in my opinion just didn't make sense for the time period of Romeo and Juliette. Overall I expected much better and was disappointed.

  2. Unfortunately I didn't watch the play since I was sick and I had to miss school. Friday I wasn't feeling very well at school and I didn't think it was very much but it led to bronchitis. I was very weak and I still am. I spent most of my day resting and trying to regain my energy. It sadly hasn't come back yet but hopefully it'll be back by tomorrow because my mom might be forcing me to go back to school. I hope you guys had fun !

  3. The Romeo and Juliet play in my opinion wasn't that great . I hated how they trashed the stage and I hated that they tried to make the play more this century then when Shakespeare originally wrote it . The acting tho wasn't that bad they did a good job and at some parts making it actually funny with some jokes . What I hated the most was the fact they didn't put the apothecary scene from the original play . So many of my friends were confused as to what Romeo had drank and they believe it was the same potion that Juliet had taken. So it would've been more clear to show the scene where the apothecary gave the poison to Romeo . I also dreaded where I was sitting , some students wouldn't stop talking about dumb things that was really annoying and not useful in general .

    2. I think "hate" is a big word to describe some unsatisfactory scenes, but I can agree that a few scenes could of been better.

  4. I thought the play was amazing. I loved it because of the humor and the presentation. Everything was played well and I didn't catch any mistakes. I also think it's because it was my first time to this play. One thing that was a bit weird was that the kissing was a bit loud and I didn't enjoy that loud juicy sound.

  5. i really appreciate that you took you time to bring us to this play but it was horrible. the actors were ok and what really bothered me is that they didn't change the scene in the background. the entire time we were looking at a dusty geto street with newspaper crumbled in a ball , the way they would just freeze when another scene came on i didn't like it. oh and lets not forgot what the fudge were they wearing like they kept the same thing the entire play personally the only one that looked good was Paris. so ya i didn't like the play at all. i expected much better and funnier scenes.

  6. they did a great job on the play but i found it a bit to modern. yes the pk Subban joke was funny but i much rather watch a more shakespearean play. i thought it was cool how they made it a post apocalyptique setting but it would have been better if they were dressed in nice clothe and looked less like hobbos. i was intrigued on how they all played different parts and never got confused of which character they were playing. i would love to see another Shakespeare play next year a little less modernized and a little more Shakespeare. i give this play a 7/10

  7. I personally did not enjoy this play. I have to say, there were scenes that made me laugh but I don't think that should've been in this type of play. I think they tries making the play too much for our generation. Like when one of the actors mentioned Ariana Grande and Carey Price, etc. I just found that completely unnecessary and stupid. I also didn't like the stage at all. There was trash everywhere and I don't think a lot of people enjoyed the "apocalyptic" theme. The costumes I found looked the same in every scene and I found the actors who had multiple roles didn't change their voices for the role so some actors sounded the same the entire show but with different costumes. If I would have to see the same play next year, I really hope they put more Shakespeare other then modernization.

  8. Honestly I didn't think good or bad about the play because to me it was average. The background never changed but you can't really complain because it's just a high school play. Everything else was fine besides when they mentioned things that exist today like Carey Price that was kinda dumb. I also thought that Juliette would be better looking. The actors did a decent job but I expected better from the whole play in general.

  9. I did like the play but i expected it to be funnier and it was a little boring i found they followed the original script to close and they didn't really but a twist on it. I think that it could have been better placed and setting because i understand it's supposed to be after and apocalypse but i do believe that the characters could have been dresses and looked better because it looks like they were poor and homeless to be honest. But the acting was okay. I didn't really like that the actors were playing two characters it kinda confused me. i also found it hard to follow if you didn't know anything about it.

    1. I also got confused at one point when an actor played two roles. I was always thinking "didn't he die already?" since there were so many deaths in the play.

  10. I liked the play it was good I like a lot of the jokes and The props for example in the fighting sceans the used bamboo sticks and it was fast paced. I also like how they modernized the play or else it would of been boring and we would of not understood Shakespeare English.

  13. I like the play i found it very funny and really entertaining. I love the parts when the characters came of the stage and there acting was really good. All the actors in the play were really funny and fun to watch. I loved the props that they showed it was probably one of the best shows.

  14. I thought the play was enternaing and funny. The actors were OK and did a good job of acting the play Romeo and Juliet. The setting of the play was really creativity and I love it. The actor for Mercutio and the priest was really good. He was the star of the play and made it funny. I love Shakespeare Montreal and wish they can make another good play next year.

  15. I found that the play was pretty good but there were a few flaws in it.One flaw is the stage and how the presented it,what i mean is how they made it look like a post apocalyptic era.Also how they tried to base it on the century we live in now and how they were dressed,like back then they didn't have ripped s**t and they didn't fight with sticks.I know the sticks were to not promote violence but they could of done better.

  16. The play wasn't that good, I didn't really like it. I find it was more of an excuse to skip school and hang out with friends. The actors weren't that good and the way the presented it was weird and not very entertaining and a little bit boring. I remember last year they did a play and it was much more entertaining, maybe it was because it was better or maybe because I was younger and less mature so I found it to be funnier.

  17. i liked the play. It had a good funny and a good lesson to it. it showed who sacrifices had to be made and how people change just to be with someone. it shows us the power of love. I found it sad how the capulets and montages were so mean to each other.

  18. Honestly, I didn't like that much the play. I think it was a little bit boring because the jokes they made weren't funny and I think if they would make it funnier the play would be more entertaining. Another thing I noticed, was that they didn't change the background so that confused me because I didn't really know where they were in each scene. Sometimes they said where they were, but it didn't really make sense because they said one thing and the background was another one. Also, I think that they could have dressed better because they looked poor when they are supposed to be rich. When the costume party happens, I think they could have worn costumes to make it more realistic.

  19. Ill just be fully 100% honest with this. I love plays, I prefer plays way way more tan going to watch a movie. So naturally was exited to finally go see the famous play ( possibly THE most famous play) and i was let down. Yes the concept was cool but find that the way that they preformed and prepared the show could've been so much better.

  20. To be honest I didn't mind the play at all. Personally it was alright I did enjoy it. But i feel like they could have done a bit better with the scenes and the background. They could have switched it up a bit more. Generally I really liked there acting and the play in general.

  22. To be honest I really didn’t like the two other plays that we saw last year and the year before from this company, so I thought that this one would be bad as well but I actually kind of enjoyed it. In the other plays I thought that the jokes were stupid but this year most of the jokes were way better and they actually made me smile. I’m glad that this one wasn’t too modern because even though I can’t really understand Shakespeare I find when they make it too modern it gets worse. So overall I think that this play was pretty good and I’m glad I got to go see it.

  23. I personnally didn't really like the play. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. I think one thing that had to do with it is that we already knew the whole story, so we knew exactly what was going to happen. It's like watching a movie twice, it's never as good the second time around, so I didn't really find it intriguing. Although I did like the little modern twists and jokes they added to it. It gave the play a little spark.

  24. Personally I found the play boring and didn't really like it. It was okay but not the best. Some of the scenes were funny but still I didn't enjoy watching the play. When they added the modern jokes inside the play, it didn't make it funnier because it didn't make sense. Overall if I had a choice I wouldn't want to go see that play again. Sorry if this is a big mean but I'm being honest.

  25. I liked the play, there were a few odd parts but in all the (I can not remember the groups name) had really brought the play to life. I know some kids would have found the play bad, but I enjoyed it, it was funny, set in a neat setting with a cool twist to the characters outfits. I believe the actor who most brought the play to life was the older man (I don't know his name) he did a really good job at being explosive and out there and is one of the big reasons I look forward to next year play. (Hopefully there is one).

  26. The play was very well done! The characters were played perfectly with additional parts added which made it just fabulous. The acting was very entertaining. With all the humours jokes and lines, I sometimes forgot that the play was actually Romeo and Juliet.

  27. I did not think that the play was that great or even good at all. I was very confused about the setting and how it was "apocalyptic" and i did not really like how much they modernized it. It was also very confusing at some points because some of the characters had accents and some of them did not. Also i did not really like the idea of us hearing their inner thoughts because sometimes it overlapped what they were saying and then we could not understand and most of it just was not clear at all.
