In connection with the "Expressing Love" theme of the new French curriculum for 8th grade, Shakespeare's legendary play is presented in a "Special Theater" edition: with theater workshops, production photos, and video excerpts.
The play tells the story of two families torn apart by a hatred all the more tenacious because its cause is unknown. Romeo and Juliet, each from one of these two clans, experience an impossible love.
This "Special Theater" edition includes: • suggestions for theater workshops, integrated throughout the text, for active reading; • color photos allowing for comparison of different productions; • an interview with director David Bobée. And, available for free on www.youtube.com/, Hatier Theater channel: video excerpts of David Bobée's production.
