Over the centuries, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has seen many theatrical revisions, but it's likely never been produced with pandemic restrictions and for a global audience. The National Theatre's new version started as a play. It ended specifically as a film, and it's now streaming. Theater critic Howard Shapiro reviews the production this week on In a Broadway Minute, Friday (4/30) at 8 am and Saturday (5/1) at 10 am.
