Though this is Godwin’s first time directing a film, this production benefits from an ensemble very familiar with untethering Shakespeare from traditional stagings. It’s not so sparse as to be fully deconstructed, but this is a version that’s hyper-focused on boiling down to what’s absolutely necessary. There are enough establishing shots to mark the passage between scenes, but there’s an intimacy in the camera placement that relishes in being as close as possible to each interaction. Those include more dramatic updates (the party where the lovers first meet is a Capulet rave where Juliet sings on stage over a thumping beat) and slight twists on established classics (O’Connor carries over a plain ladder so he can climb to the balcony).

As the members of the ensemble all make eye contact and show various levels of first-rehearsal jitters, they set about the action that, from the first thumb-biting standoff, slowly begins the stage’s gradual transformation from an empty square into a familiar parade of locations. That begins in the opening, which follows the cast into a kind of hollowed-out performance space, with a superb Lucian Msamati as the Chorus (before settling into his main role as Friar Lawrence) offering the iconic plot overview like a director before a table read.
