This week's performance at the Stratford Zoo is of "Big Bill" Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, in which Romeo the rooster, a Petter (petting-zoo animal), cannot be best friends with Juliet the bear because she is a Wilder (wild animal). This kid-friendly, very loose graphic-novel adaptation is energetic and lots of fun; asides from the animal attendees add to the laughs.
