Romeo and Juliet— The Impact of Lighting
This performance of Romeo and Juliet was peculiar in the sense that there was no set stage. Instead, actors performed in a small space on ground level, surrounded by the audience on three sides. Because there was no stage, lighting played a crucial role in both transitional and emotional aspects. Many scenes, such as the Capulet’s dance party, was only made possible by the erratic and dance-esque lighting.
