Synetic Theater's production of The Man in the Iron Mask is victorious during moments of silent montages and epic fight scenes, but its dialogue is at times ill fitting for such as beloved classic.
Shakespeare's iambic pentameter, the rhythm of his words, echo the human heartbeat: ba-BUM, ba-BUM. But Synetic Theater gets to the beating heart of ROMEO AND JULIET without a single utterance of any of the Bard's famed words. In its innovative merging of drama and movement, Synetic's silent exploration of the classic work is an extraordinary vision of wonder and passion.
Shakespeare's ROMEO AND JULIET runs at Synetic Theater from February 17 to March 27, 2016. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the stunning production below!
