I told her about our UN-birthday party at the Laurel Park Place Mall , and said I hoped to be invited back on the show this fall before the movie Anonymous is released. I was asked to bring a sonnet or a poem."

Her son didn’t attend the performance Tuesday because of another commitment, she said. “I think the theater company should have left out any references that were rated R,” Crowley said. “I would say that I’ve read Shakespeare, and what I was told from the students, I’ve never read anything that bad.” She said she objected to scenes that involved pelvic thrusting and breast touching and to a line in which Mercutio makes suggestive comments to Romeo after looking up the skirt of a female.
