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 and the concept that Rosalind, Paris and Mercutio form a trio ("Three Witches") who manipulate events into a vengeful plot. Although principally a comedy, the play involves the themes of Love, Jealousy, Hate, Revenge and ultimate Tragedy. | |||||
