When I took the above picture - the Romeo and Juliet Windmill (1896) - while touring Frank Lloyd Wright's home, Taliesin, in Spring Green, Wisconsin (see "Vacation" posts from May), it got me thinking about - Romeo and Juliet. Then I remembered taking this picture (see below) while in Central Park.
R&J outside the Shakespeare Theatre in Central Park. I took this while in Manhattan for a reading of one of my plays. I did a quick Google search of other representations of R&J...
A 1901 book illustration.
Painting.
Two stills from Franco Zefferelli's classic version from 1968, starring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whitting.
A souped up, modern telling of the tale from 1996. I enjoyed it.
"Romeo and Juliet's 1st Anniverary".
Animal Planet did a documentary on two monkeys from warring - tribes(?) - who fell in love. Their names? You guessed it. Not sure which is which though.
If you find any more uniques R&J's, email them to me at irc_64@hotmail.com
