From make.art.theatre

Written by: RYAN M. SERO, Directed by: TYLER BRENT, Starring: TYLER BRENT, LAURA ELLIS, SEAN EMBERLEY, ANNALEE FLINT, ESTHER HUH, RYAN M. SERO

SYNOPSIS: Woody Allen meets William Shakespeare in this comedic adaptation of the Bard's classic tale of star-crossed lovers as Romeo, recently on the rebound from the fair Rosaline, meets and falls in love-at-first-sight with Juliet, the daughter of his mortal enemies. Naturally, that's only the beginning of his troubles, and soon he's embroiled in the bitter feud between two households, questioning the nature of existence, attempting to escape his fate, and trying to find love (and God). Whatever you're looking for, you can find it here: a philosophical study on love and death, another twist on a true classic, or a lot of great laughs Romeo & Juliet: An Escapist Comedy truly has something for everybody.

PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED: At the Canadian Play Festival at The Pearl Company in Hamilton and the 2014 Hamilton Fringe Festival to sold-out houses and excellent reviews.
