"In order to test my theory about being moved out of a zone of comfort, I plan to see the play at least one more time to give the two lovers another chance to enter my heart - and then to break it"
The review generated quite a few comments and a lot of conversation - among patrons of the arts and among cast members. One reader asked the question:

"Did you end up going back?"
I did, indeed, go back, and several individuals have asked for my comments.
The second time around, I sat in a different part of the theater,and attempted to watch the play de novo.
I stand by my assessments from the first viewing - with one exception. Clearly, now being accustomed to the concept of a Romeo and a Juliet who defy common stereotypes, this time around, they did touch my heart, and I found myself moved at their deaths.
You have one more week to judge for yourself. The show resumes tomorrow evening and plays through the weekend.
Enjoy
Al
