<div dir="ltr">Hello Wes, <div><br></div><div>I have seen the production and my recollection is that it was not bilingual.

<div>From the preliminary research I've been able to do, the 1968 Stratford production of Romeo and Juliet was in English although critics have commented that Louise Marleau's English was heavily accented. I guess my question is, this wasn't a bilingual production was it? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had heard rumours that it was but those rumours seem to be false.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can anyone confirm my suspicions?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks, </div>
