My high school students will open our season with Romeo and Juliet in the fall. I'm considering updating the time period, but want to do it meaningfully, not just to change the costumes. I want to be true to the text but want to consider if an update might be more appealing than the original setting. The Zefferelli movie strongly affects my vision.
