The director of this production of Shakespeare’s famous love tragedy desired to set it in it’s original time and place, with one small caveat: No pumpkin pants. As that hardly affected me as a sound designer, I went ahead and plowed into the best, or at least the most surviving, that renaissance Italy had to offer. The result was something poignant and beautiful on all fronts.
