Bedlam does these Zoomed readings right.  That's almost certainly because the stripped-down, unadorned style of presentation the company employs in live performance lends itself to remote performances from the actors' separate apartments, viewed on each audience member's monitor in their own apartments.  About this play, there can't be much left to say.  List Fave (and then some) Jeffrey Young participates in the pre-performance music-making!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Gotta be Toby Maloney's famous Juliet and Romeo cocktail:  muddle 3 slices of cucumber and a pinch of salt in a cocktail shaker.  Add a mint sprig and 2 oz. Gin and 3/4 oz. each of lime juice and Simple Syrup.  Add ice.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Nick and Nora glass (only appropriate, right?).  Garnish with a mint leaf, 1 dash of rosewater on the mint leaf, and 3 dashes of Angostura bitters.
