Learning on ScreenPremiere of Romeo and Juliet, The
- Synopsis
- Radio drama. History Retweeted sends the audience back in time hearing people from the past comment on a series of major world events, in 140 characters or fewer. It’s the opening night of Romeo and Juliet and you are cordially invited to the premiere of a brand new play by the up-and-coming playwright Billy Shakespeare. Much the same as any other playwright, Shakespeare ponders how the play will be received. He needn’t worry anymore as the 16th century now comes complete with wifi. Bloggers review the show, fan-made plays are rife and the stars are interviewed on YouTube as one of Shakespeare’s greatest blockbusters is ‘re-tweeted’.
