Synopsis: | Playboy Bunnies were the symbolic and actual participants in the heyday of the sexual revolution. They were also real women caught up in the adulation and intrigue with which money and sex keep company. They made wise and ridiculous choices. I knew them all personally. Liked some, hated others, wrote about them all. http://www.shipleyplays.com/Default.asp?Page=36 | |||||

When Catherine is seduced by the thief, Capulet, lives hang in the balance as love, fortune, and honor are risked on the turn of a card, the edge of a sword. A tale of friendships gone awry and unforgivable acts committed in the name of love. http://www.starcrossed.biz/ | |||||
