MusicNone.
StyleOne-act comedy starting from Shakespeare and straying a good way. Simple to stage. Written in American English.
SynopsisRomeo's wooing of Juliet fails when both run out of poetry, so they agree to take a break and see other people. Romeo's dates with Lady Macbeth, Cleopatra, and the Wicked Witch of the West don't go well, nor do Juliet's with Paris, Iago and Oberon. Maybe the star-cross'd lovers are the only ones right for each other.
