The Grimsby Telegraph review
"The second act on a double bill is an off-the-wall look at Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet through the eyes of today's youth. Given a fairly free rein by 16-year-old writer/director Chris Nichol, five teenagers perform the major speeches from the bard's work. They add their own touches of comedy, dance and modern pop hits. Kathryn Hood provides some exquisite comedy touches, while Tom Finch's speeches are very well done. Not everyone was quite as successful, but the whole is an insight. It is gratifying to see an alternative twist on the famous story." - David Peasgood
