Starcrossed

By Rachel Garnet

“Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love”

Romeo and Juliet (1.1. 172)

What if Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet had told a different story?  Mercutio and Tybalt.  Sworn enemies and… fated lovers.

In this fresh twist on the world’s most iconic love story, Starcrossed unveils the intrigue and passion of a forbidden romance forged in strife, stifled by circumstance and silenced by history. 

Reimagining Shakespeare’s verse for the modern age, Rachel Garnet’s tender, witty and heart-wrenching new play gives beloved characters new life, and has received critical acclaim since first premiering at the New York International Fringe Festival.
