Juliet, an actor, is betrothed to Paris, a director, but tells him that she wants to call off the wedding because she and the light-and-sound technician, Romeo, have fallen in love.
Romeo is responsible for an accidental death and runs off. Meanwhile, Juliet plots to escape from clingy Paris by pretending to be dead. Paris is angry and, blaming Romeo for Juliet's death, Paris shoots and kills Romeo. Juliet, not really dead, awakes to discover the murder weapon next to Romeo's body and uses it to kill herself.
New setting, same tragic result. Adapted and performed by Brodie (Romeo), Chris (Paris), Katy (Juliet) and support cast from Market Theatre, Hitchin. Performed at the Queen Mother Theatre, Summer 2012.
