A reimagining of ‘Romeo & Juliet’

NOVA Arts students performed a classic Shakespearean tragedy with edge and sophistication. Thank you for championing our NOVA students. We are immensely proud of them. The reviews speak for themselves…

Reviews

Mrs Ruth Gravestein, Principal
“Our Nova students are so capable because of the gifts the Lord has placed within them, but it is the belief you have in them that encourages them to realise just what they can accomplish.” 

Dr Jacqui Cuny
“Incredible! The directing and the kids were really outstanding!” 

Mrs Helen Moore
“The cast did an exceptional job with hard material. The ensemble was actually that. The two leads were amazing…the lines came alive. I have really never realised how angry Juliet’s father was until Friday night. It was a Cirque du Soleil night where everyone individually and together was excellent…A triumph!” 

NJ Price, Fight Director  
” … great use of the set …the fights [were] well rehearsed – there were great reactions from the audience (you can always tell if things work from their reaction!) 

Mrs Lucy Lim
“My oh my, how we were blown away!… You should all be so proud of the high calibre of work you have produced.” 

Mr Dexter Lim
“Romeo and Juliet was incredible. The whole production: stage direction, lighting, music, costumes, sound and student performances were excellent…the rotating platform and stairs were so cool!” 

Ms Nikki Walsh
“I so enjoyed your interpretation of this play!…I chuckled and beamed and was moved and was teary and had all the feels as I watched these students blossom.” 

 Mr Justin Chan
“Well done NOVA Arts. I should’ve realised from the graffiti laden program that what I was stepping into was going to be an intense, emotional, dark and gritty recount of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet…drawing you in only for the fight scenes to throw you back in your chair reminding you that there’s more to this story than “love is in the air.”
