You may not have to wait that long, Jeff. I heard that Matthew Bourne is working on a gay Romeo and Juliet, called Romeo and Romeo. Can BBM, the Ballet, be far behind??
I read that about Matthew Bourne doing the gay Romeo and Juliet. There was a very nice profile of him in (where else?
)
The New Yorker recently.
I know I used the Grin smiley, but I wasn't really kidding about the ballet. I'm not just thinking a love duet pas de deux for Ennis and Jack, either. I'm thinking that a talented and skillful choreographer could do a lot with the whole story. For example, I'm thinking of the possibility of a very powerful solo portraying Alma's confusion when she sees her husband kissing a man, and another, and potentially very moving solo portraying her sorrow as her marriage deteriorates. Lots of possibilities here!
