ROMEO & JULIET
by William Shakespeare
Directed by David A. VanCleave
Assistant Directed by Ennis Matthew Neal
Presented by Des Moines Young Artists' Theatre.
Performed at Kum & Go Theater, 2016
"a classic with youth and edge."
"VanCleave directs this production with unapologetic vigor, challenging his age appropriate cast to rise to the occasion, and plunge into the language and timeless storytelling of Shakespeare’s greatest love tragedy. ... As Juliet and Romeo, Natalie Grote and Caleb Neese demonstrate a stage presence and dexterity with the language that far outstrip their seventh and ninth grade ages, respectively. "
