...children are parental possessions, marriages arranged, personal autonomy frowned upon. Strong women like Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing or Katherine the shrew must be tamed. Countless Juliets are bullied, beaten, even killed if they refuse to be despatched to a chosen bridegroom. They hear their own fathers in Capulet's warning to his rebellious daughter...
Every November, Harvard and Yale attempt to set up the impending Game as an epic battle of Good vs. Evil, Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, or Plucky Underdogs vs. Bulldogs. But every year the actual struggle seems more like Hatfield vs. McCoy, Montague vs. Capulet, or Luke vs. That Masked Vader-Like Figure in Empire Strikes Back That Actually Turns Out to Be Luke’s Psyche (Or Something).

The secondary characters are played to the hilt as well. Lady Capulet (Elizabeth Hess) is now an over-sexed, half-crazed shrieking harpy, Friar Laurence (Thomas Derrah) is physically menacing and the prince (John Campion) has an inexplicable (and annoying) stutter. As for Mercutio—well it is rather impossible to overplay Mercutio—Che Ayende delivers the rants and innuendos in great style...
