English File: Why Shakespeare? | Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
Four actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company tackle two famous scenes from two famous plays - the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet and the 'cross-garters' scene from Twelfth Night. Well-known the scenes may be, but to make the familiar words 'come off the page' and work on stage calls for skill, enthusiasm, much talk and hard work.
