Romeo and JulietHamlet | Petruchio and Kate, a shrew | Richard III and Lady Anne | Macbeth and Lady Macbeth | Bottom and Titania | Othello and Desdemona | Romeo and Juliet Character Guide:Often played by the same dancers who take the leads in Kenneth MacMillan's full length classical ballet version, this segment portrays all of the exhaustive emotion of the two star-crossed lovers. An example of love at its most innocent and pure, Romeo and Juliet contrast with all of the previous segments in that theirs is a love as-yet untarnished by cynicism - or bewitchment by fairies! The last of the characters that we meet in the piece, we share in their glorious declaration of love for one another, before the rest of the cast join them on stage together for the finale.
