"...Combat is the central theme of Irina Tsikurishvili's muscular choreography, whether playful (Romeo's scuffles with Mercutio) or deadly. The young Montagues and Capulets seem feverish with their acrobatic dances and battles, while Juliet's bawdy nurse (Kathy Gordon) fans the flames, and noble Paris (Randy Snight) and well-meaning Friar Laurence (Irakli Kavsadze) do their best to lower the temperature."

"...Dynamic director & choreography duo Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili have staged a dark, semi-steampunk but definitely steamy Romeo and Juliet. You may have seen Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet before; perhaps even many times over. Until you go see Synetic Theater's beautiful translation of this famous love story, though, you have not seen it fully. In classic Synetic style, this timeless masterpiece of tragic love unfolds onstage without words. Indeed, putting the beautiful story back into words is rather difficult."
