ALA sophomores were acting out the infamous gang fight between the Montagues and the Capulets at the start of Romeo and Juliet, focusing on the wordplay, puns, and lawlessness of the scene. Afterwards, students returned to the classroom and cut their own 20-line adaptation of the scene. They will go on to watch excerpts of two filmed versions of the scene and compare how different directors adapt a script to their own purposes.
