Gilbert Stuart, 1796
(via 18th-century American Women: Early American Women by American Gilbert Stuart)
Now that Romeo and Juliet has closed, I can finally admit to the world that during the balcony scene, from Romeo’s “But soft!” to “O that I were a glove upon that hand/That I might touch that cheek!” I was singing “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid in my head.
I highly recommend it as an acting choice to any potential Juliets out there.
