Our young lovers turn on each other so readily, they prove beyond doubt that it was Shakespeare who coined the phrase frenemy.

I find this result of modern adaptions of Shakespeare to be common and, in my opinion, it has now reached it's point of annoyance. I find that people attempt to "modernize" Shakespeare but end up getting lost in time and end up in a nowhere land, drowned with extravagant assumptions of the audiences expectations paired with unrealistic pokes at the future. From this I learn once again the importance of a time period or setting and having that be understood amongst the entire production team. Most of the shows that I found myself getting lost in where the one's in which the "time" of the piece was unclear because it was neither conceivable or relatable. If you're going to set a Shakespearean piece in another time era, make sure it's clear, I beg of thee.
However, this reviewer seemed to enjoy this production and it's great to hear that. Honestly, I was captivated by this article based off of my attraction to the photograph, therefore I assume I, too, have fallen for the trend.
