Washington, DC's Folger Library is mounting Romeo and Juliet this fall (2013). The director and designers wanted weapons that "fit" the production. So rather than pull rapiers, etc, from stock, they commissioned Baltimore Knife and Sword to design and build all new functioning weaponry for what sounds like one hell of an R&J.
The link to the Washington Post article is here. But watch the post-tv video for the "real" story (you might have to register with post-tv to see, but worth it).
