I just love how they always try to give Mercutio a recognizable little quirk in all the best RetJ productions.
Like Italian and French revival Mercutios are exceptional singers with a tendency to voyeurism to deliver the sorrowful, hidden mad side of their character.
Hungarian Mercutio, on the other hand, is an incredibile dancer, and Bereczki Zoltàn rarely took a break in the whole show. His Mercutio is high-spirited and energic, delivering a completely different take on Mercutio's madness. He's a tickling bomb, always moving and dancing, but it's in the rare moments when he stops.... and takes it slow..... that he really conveys that deep, sorrowful side of his character.
I love both interpretations, I just love how they always find a way to deliver Mercutio's layered personality through different acting quirks that are unique to him
