A small midwestern college decides to stage Shakespeare’s classic tale of young star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet with an all female cast. Add in a mysterious guest director with dubious credentials and a bizarre show concept, and anything might happen. Can the students rescue the bard from being hijacked? A smart, hilarious, thoroughly contemporary look at what the Bard might mean to us today.

“Maclay and Foust ease us into the world of Shakespeare in many ways: through savvy, spunky narrators, through scenes where a patient professor guides our cast in rehearsals, and through the hilariously misguided production concept of a wacko guest director who plunges the department into chaos.”
—Martin McClendon, Carthage College New Play Initiative
