This adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is very different from the original play. Although it is still a tragedy and has the original characters, the theme of the play has changed. It also approaches the idea in a more modern way, inserting the concept of artificial intelligence. It borrows the story from the original Romeo and Juliet and adds a new layer over it to change the color of the story. It also collects people’s upcoming concern on artificial intelligence. By delivering the desperate of the robots in the game, the adaptation indicates the inhumanity of the thought of “slavering” individuals that are highly intelligent, even they are made by the humans. Unlike the original Shakespeare's play, it points the moral arrow to the modern topic of AIs. All the group members did well on the performance. Yun’s robotic style of speaking is precisely designed for the adaptation. It would be better if all the lines were properly memorized. I played the Romeo in the scene. The Romeo in ...

The group I am in changes Romeo and Juliet into a game. The characters are all artificial intelligence. Besides the original characters, there are additional characters such as the people from the game company and the gamer that is playing the game. The gamer plays the game by stopping the game and adjusts characters position and their actions. To keep the story in a right way, there are some key points that no characters in the game can change. The play shows tragedy by illustrating all the characters have a certain destiny. No matter how hard they try, they cannot change their life that someone else designed for them. The theme we are going to play is the death scene of Romeo and Juliet. The character I will play is Paris. In the original play, Paris tries to find Juliet in her grave. In my opinion, he is trying to do something inappropriate. In this scene, Paris fails to find Juliet in her grave so he goes to Friar’s cell by coincidence. When he finds Juliet, he is happy ...
