Romeo and Juliet
An adaptation of Shakespeare's play
As part of her Masters in Directing at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Zoë staged an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. She introduced music and movement to the tragedy, editing the script and inserting modern scenes to create an energetic and moving production for contemporary audiences. To further bring the production into modern times, several roles were cross-gender cast including a female Romeo, a female Tybalt, a male Nurse, and a female Capulet.
