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.

Why Can't I Be A Teenager In Love?

Sarah is a normal 15 year old girl trying to understand the complexities of teenage relationships. Steve is the good looking one: all the girls fancy him, Sam apes him and he fancies himself. Mark can supply "the goods"; Dave is preserving the environment; Paul's only love is football; Randolph does not really fit in. The good-looking Mel is determined to hook Steve, but he chooses Louise. Beccy is jealous, Marsha unaware. There is a dramatic climax at the school disco.
