| Synopsis: | Shakespeare's
story put into the present day and seen from the perspective of Rosalind and
Paris - who were intended to be the spouses of Romeo and Juliet respectively. A
further variation is the introduction of lines from other Shakespearian plays

who manipulate events into a vengeful plot. Although principally a comedy, the play involves the themes of Love, Jealousy, Hate, Revenge and ultimate Tragedy. |
