Thursday june 14.
as we read tonight , I was taken in by how he wrote for women (well men playing women, no, that's not right..women)
That short scene with Lady Capulet, the Nurse and Juliet-- in just a few lines we know who these women are and what their relationships are.
Again , I am stunned by how smart and sophisticated Juliet is. How sharp her logic is, but she, like everybody is going to make some real bad choices....soon.
I thought more about that moment when Lady Capulet sends the Nurse away only to bring her back two seconds later-- perhaps she picks up on a moment of petulance from Juliet, a sigh or an eye roll, or just a thick quiet-- and at that moment knows that she does not want to face her alone.
The characters are so rich, the story is important, but it takes a back seat to the people.
