Romeo + Mint Julep

For this episode of The Drinklings, we discuss the Baz Lurhmann film Romeo + Juliet. This is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s classic play, which introduced the famous star-crossed lovers. Beyond the film, we also discuss the impact of adaptations and whether they can hurt or help an original text. This recording was recommended by Drinkling’s Jenna but seemed appropriate as April is recognized as the birth month of the famous Bard of Avon. We choose to record at Nama in Carrollton and were served by the wonderful bartenders upstairs! Or drink was a Mint Julep, which was picked for no other reason than a horrible pun. Hopefully you will pick a side on whether the Lurhmann version is a substantial re-telling that stands on it's own or a modernized mess. Either way, enjoy!
