Romeo and Juliet's "West Nile Pool"

Well, in terms of new interpretations, I've heard it all.

The Public's production of Romeo and Juliet's main set piece, the area where most of the action will take place, is a swimming pool.

Lauren Ambrose calls it the "West Nile pool."

Ahem, I've been to Verona several times. A river runs through it, but there are no lakes or ponds that I can recall.

A pool with no speedos? Disappointing.
In all seriousness though, I can't wait to hear the reviews tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing this production (if I can get tickets, no way I'm sleeping over at the park for ROMEO & JULIET).

Lincoln Center used a pool and a river in the Helen Hunt "Twelfth Night". Except that was indoors.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
