About this listen
In this second episode in the series, Sonja and Vanessa travel through the play, keeping a sharp eye on Juliet. Is Juliet as demure as many stage performances make her seem? Romeo makes the first move at the party, but by the end of the night, is he the one in charge of the relationship? And let’s really consider what’s said in the famously “romantic” balcony scene…how much of it really fits the term “romantic”? The answers to many of these questions will likely surprise you.
Along the way, we learn about the joys of nursing--including a clever trick for weaning your baby--and we let Mercutio school us on why you hope a fairy, dashing about in an empty hazelnut-shell carriage, does not make her way into your bedroom at night.
We are using the Yale Press version of Romeo and Juliet, editor Burton Raffel, 2004.
