RSC: Romeo & Juliet (Part 2 of 2)

From Reduced Shakespeare Company's The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)

[@Dingdong0130]

We just finished the play in English and we watched the 1968 movie and then our teacher showed us this.. I was crying of laughter!

[@PhoenixPrime]

Same! Actually, I brought in my DVD copy of RSC, and we watched this clip after we finished watching the 1968 and 1996 versions of Romeo + Juliet. Everyone laughed! xD

[@WaffleAssasinX3]

I watched this in English in the 8th grade, still have to come back and watch it from time to time

[@kaitlynlewis5873]

Watch this in English class and I just died.

[@SpammingY]

Same

[@Lesbian_dumbass]

ME TOO!!

[@Selene.MoonLove]

Yes!!

[@MidwesternDiva]

I love when they flip frantically thru the pages after Tybalt's death.

[@Gigi_otter]

Best version of Romeo and Juliet ever!!!

[@1forte]

I got to watch this in class the other day, I swear I could not stop cracking up! These guys are fanasticly hilariously amazing!!! haha "None could duck it, and in the end they both kicked the bucket." loved that part, and the epilouge! lol

[@MrFuzzyGreen]

That sound at the very end is the rare sound of a British, upper-middle class audience showing extreme appreciation despite the American accents in Shakespeare. This is like watching a VC and Medal of Honor in action.

[@luckycharms202]

thanks to these guys i now have the greatest material for a duo piece EVER! obiwan...

[@witchhunter501]

XD i feel a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins obi wan

[@mnikss03]

"Thank you obi-wan" my favorite line outta this whole skit

[@ggpalmer123]

I did this in high school and we got it sent to the IHSA Theatre Festival. Best show I've ever seen. LOVE.

[@MyNameJameBoy]

Romeo: why art thou so fair. Sleeping Juliet: I don't know

[@MadHatterMCR]

We watched that in Theater II class last year. It has got to be one of the greatest plays of all time. Thanks for puting this up.

[@goreycinema]

"AHHHH I am slain." *walks off with me laughing hysterically for hours on end.

[@PuppyPal1000]

This is the best play in the whole performance! These guys are the best!

[@Jbarbeau13]

I remember watching this in my freshman year in high school! Can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I started high school

[@gromann]

their hamlet just made me laugh so hard i lost my voice, the first time i saw this was in high school, i bought the dvd a few years later and im still busting up each and everytime i watch this dvd, the hamlet part can have me laughing insanely hard then have me morose from their soliloqouys

[@jarlynjagdeo2029]

My favorite version! Super funny!

[@SocialistSadako]

Lovely beautiful harmonization at the end and I love it when he flings his Juliet hair off at the end SO COOL!

[@SocialistSadako]

"And Romeo and Juliet are deeeeAAAAADDDDDD~" I LOVE the harmony and the wig flinging. Adam is EPIC. :D

[@melissaevans2309]

DO NOT SWEAR BY THE MOON!! -_- What should I swear by then? ...Idk c:

[@LannaLion]

OMG! At the end he plays "What is a youth"! That was great.

[@SaneInsanity88]

I JUST FINISHED MY ROMEO AND JULIET FINALS PAPER AND MY FRIEND SHOWED THIS TO ME I'M DYING

[@xxpurpleCHROMExx]

**Dies laughing** This never gets old. "That's Romeo for you."

[@kelciecrino5885]

we watched this in English class today and I was seriously laughing so hard. this kills me oh my gosh

[@MakiaLink]

HAHA! I remember watching this in comedic literature...the whole class was in tears at the end of the Romeo and Juliet skit! Long Live Adam!

[@SouninLurks]

This was amazing! We watched this and part one in my English class yesterday. It definately makes Romeo and Juliet really interesting!!

[@Dreamer00]

It's having fun with them. They make me respect Shakespeare even more.

[@ginawood1790]

[@ladyfishermen10]

I was laughing SO HARD in class when we watched this! My friends and I were CRYING because it was so funny!!!!!!! haha!

[@keenan2424]

i love this, it made romeo and juliet so much more interesting

[@MsRomeoandjuliet1234]

This has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen haha. They did an awesome job.

[@AdirondackRuby]

I know it's weird, but my favorite part is when Adam catches the guitar...He was so slick, you don't even expect it or think it's coming...And I love how the song he plays and "hums" is the theme song from the Franco Zefferelli "Romeo & Juliet" movie [ya know, the one with Olivia Hussey]

[@minoentje]

Me too! I watched it in class today and I Couldn't breathe! especially with the knife in his stomach, head and nose!:D too shame we didn't get to see the whole show! xx

[@Tinkerbird]

"OH I feel a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins Obi-Wan" lololol!

[@Bubblefizzal]

Quite Brilliant! A Dramatic Tragedy into Extrodinary Comedy :D This never gets old!

[@EchoWinters1234]

"Why art thou yet so fair?" "I don't know!" Quite humorous.

[@GabbyGrapist]

If only when you fell in love did you dance in unison like that. lol. And what an epic ending.

[@jimbob12246]

we watched this in our english lesson and everyone was in hysterics. it was sooooo funny

[@Justinsupermagic]

great effort very funny and a brilliant way to get a novice or young generation into Shakespeare let us only hope that they who saw this farce can now go and fall in love with the actual writing. great stuff!

[@MrFuzzyGreen]

How did you manage to sound so ebullient and so backhanded at the same time? Pick a lane.

[@1401JSC]

I simply love everything! Especially the footware.

[@usnndy]

This was probably one of the top ten funniest things Ive ever seen!

[@Nerdfighter21]

[@zepeterinma]

this is a way better way to get the story then reading the entire book "The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet."

[@GodKingReiss]

Hah! I never noticed Friar Laurence's little "Toldja so!" after Juliet took the drug.

[@TheInsanebrain247]

"Oh, I feel a cold and drowsy humor running through my veins, Obi-Wan" Was I the only person who thought that was funny enough to make it a comment?

[@MintySoftball52]

[@lilytres]

This helped me with Romeo and Juliet so much when I was doing it in school last year lol

[@mariopokemon955]

1:43 still better than the stab in the 1968 film

[@monnie_monika]

[@JoeSnyderwalk]
