Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet 13th & 14th October 2006 The Youth Group's next production was based upon Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Meryl, the Director, picked out the key points of the text, which the youngsters dramatised  in their own words - modern text, using a variation of techniques to convey the plot. The process focused on their ideas of  how to improvise each of the storylines within the play.
