Judging by his performance in Hamnet (don't miss it!), Jupe is perfect casting. The last 20 minutes are devastating, in large part due to him.

kind of odd she is doing this at the same time John Proctor Is The Villian is premiering in London

She has nothing to do with that production, so don't really see how it's odd. Noah is extraordinary so I'm sure he'll be great in this, not that we need yet another Romeo & Juliet, but perhaps two actors with chemistry will sell it better.

Curious only because it's Icke.

With all due respect to your significant contributions to this board, which generation would be more appropriate for the two title characters? I assume you don't mean Gen Alpha, which at least 13-year-old Juliet would belong to if shifted to 2025.

I just think three internationally commercial productions in two years is just too much. While acknowledging it’s a classic, it’s been done to death and needs a minute to sit out. It just bums me out that they could probably use their followings to promote newer works (like Sink did with JPITV) and producers decide that they want to take this route. What is Icke going to do differently than Lloyd or Gold?

I was so irritated by the end of the bizarro Zegler/Connor R&J, that I was elated that they both had died and I could finally leave.
