(KUTV) A group of Brigham Young University actors are putting a new twist on a famous Shakespeare play.
Their version is not called "Romeo and Juliet.," but "Romeo y Julieta."
"Romeo speaks English much like the Shakespeare's version. Julieta is bilingual in English and Spanish," said Julia Ashworth, the play's director.
The actors have taken this bilingual play on the road to schools in Utah where speaking both English and Spanish is an every day thing.
Several actors in the production are fluent Spanish speakers, and couldn't be happier with the reaction they are getting from kids.
