Everywhere else.
Two households are at war in politics,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene:
Montague gives fossil fuels the flick,
While Capulet is anything but green.
For Governor they strive, and duke it out
Upon the stage, while right beneath their nose,
Their children fall in love and sneak about
Without the knowledge of these public foes.
Can this modern Juliet and Romeo
Cheat tragedy? Or will it end in woe?
Romilly longs for the freedom to live her own life ... but her dad is Alan Montague, hot contender for the job of Governor. And the bigger he gets, the more protective of Romilly her parents become.
Could Julian Capulet's luck be worse? As if being born into the most conservative family in Verona wasn't bad enough, the girl of his dreams is the daughter of his father's biggest adversary in the upcoming election. His embarrassing family—especially his troublemaking younger brother—seem set to totally ruin his chances with Romilly.
For Romilly and Julian it's never been truer that you can choose your friends but not your family.
A modern retelling of an old romantic classic that will leave you smiling.
