Depends on the production. We didn’t even have Paris in the play – that I recall – when we did it at college. And Lady Montague didn’t have a death, she was just sad at the funeral.
A play that encompasses the entirety of the original would likely take 3 hours to perform. There’s a lot of fat to trim for individual presentation and interpretation (even once saw a Gaza / Israel variant one of my costars was in, that was interesting).
Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, and Lady Montague.
Spoilers!
Literally don’t remember half those deaths. I gotta re read that again. Or watch the DiCaprio flick…
The Baz Luhrmann movie is definitely worth a rewatch.
Nice I’ll have to check it out!
