Very impressed by actors delivering two languages simultaneously. ... full review

What a beautiful, moving production featuring some pretty amazing performers and artists. If you're looking for a very fresh take on a timeless story this festival season, do not miss this production. Using their hearts and souls, the ensemble brings us to a different kind of Verona than we're familiar with. The melding of ASL with spoken dialogue in the production is perfection. Don't miss this one. Just gorgeous.... full review

This was a spectacular show. If you have an interest in Deaf Theatre or Sign Language, this is an experience you should seek out.

I've seen a few ASL theater production in the past and it is quite a different experience to watch ASL for hearing people. Your brain kind of splits because you are watching and hearing a language and at the same time you are also watching the production, not just the sign language. This production started out a bit confusing to me because of my brain splitting in half, trying to read and hear the two languages at the same time as well as figuring out who is who (deaf actors had their speaking "shadows" and hearing actors were speaking english and signing at the same time). However, it didn't take too long to be sucked into the play and by the time the hour was over, I was emotionally exhausted and wanted to cry, I was so touched by the p... full review
