Mike saw the original New York production of R&J, and he was eager for me to see it with him. It is built around the conceit of a four students at a Catholic boys' school reading--and acting out--Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The homoeroticism implicit in any all-male production gets foregrounded. Excellent acting and production.
Highly recommended.
