Gut-wrenching, visceral, all-consuming—nothing packs a punch like young love. In the U.K. revival of Matthew Bourne’s 2019 Romeo and Juliet, now on at Sadler’s Wells through September 2, the choreographer suggests that Shakespeare’s star-crossed teens may actually be mentally unbalanced. So instead of working within the usual paradigm of violent pride, patriarchy, and fate, he transports us to the highly policed and overmedicating Verona Institute, a place for troubled youth. Frankly, it’s surprising it took so long for someone to make this leap. But then, ever since he wowed the world with his all-male Swan Lake of 1995, Bourne and his genre-bending company, New Adventures, have made it their mission to reimagine overworked ballets in fresh ways. —Genevieve Marks
