Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo+Juliet turns thirty in 2026 - celebrate by joining our seminar on the influence, legacy, and reception of this iconic film @saaupdates.bsky.social conference! Register for the seminar on the #shax2026 website by 15 September. #romeoandjuliet #shakespeare
Text reads: “Romeo + Juliet is 30! And we’re hosting a SAA seminar to celebrate.” The image shows a screen grab from the film where Paris, played by Paul Rudd, grins excitedly during the fireworks and confetti at the Capulet ball. Headline text reads: “Romeo + Juliet is 30! And we’re hosting a SAA seminar to celebrate.” The seminar description follows with a reminder to register for the conference by 15th September 2025. Headline text reads: “Romeo + Juliet is 30! And we’re hosting a SAA seminar to celebrate.” Below this the image is a screen grab from the film Romeo+Juliet, showing an ecstatic Mercutio (played by Harold Perrineau) in a white wig and sparkly white drag ensemble, joyously dancing to the song “Young Hearts Run Free” at the Capulet ball. This image is on a neon pink background and the jokey caption reads “projected response to the seminar”.
