SYNOPSIS: Remember how Romeo and Juliet ends? UTTER TRAGEDY! Romeo visits Juliet, assuming she is dead, drinks some poison and dies just as Juliet wakes up from her nice long potion-induced nap. She's distraught, decides to kill herself, and the rest is literary history. But what if Shakespeare had revised his greatest romance just a bit? What if Juliet didn't stab herself? What if Romeo's poison was a dud? What would happen next? ABSOLUTE HILARITY! This utterly original spoof is the perfect comic gem for a talented actor and actress.

The idea to re-write the ending of Romeo and Juliet came to me while I was playing the role of Mercutio. As you know, my character dies right before intermission, which meant that I had a lot of down time to write! I read my re-write to the cast after the last performance - they loved it! I think your audiences will too.
