| Run Time | Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] |

| Style | Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as a modern language play (with modern irony and humour) for kids. One act and a single set, with simple props. |

| Romeo and Juliet in Sixteen and a Half Minutes or Less by Christine Harvey |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 8. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 12. Minimum total without doubling = 25. No chorus. |
| Run Time | Around 18 minutes. [Estimated!] This would be a calm production but it is intended to be played faster! |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Modern language version of Romeo and Juliet. No set requirements. |
| Synopsis | Does what it says on the label - although to get down below sixteen and a half minutes, the play needs to be done (as intended) at manic pace. [Our estimate is that a steadty pace would run to 18 minutes.] Follows the plot and structure of the original work (so structurally in five acts). |
