"Hence, in order for me to not die, he must fall in love with me."
Mr Harold Brooke and Ms Jane Anderson make the perfect pair. At least on stage they do, representing the oh so tragic couple of Romeo and Juliet.
But what, if Juliet was not such a delightful creature off the stage? What, if Romeo did not really care about the wellbeing of the rose of his life? What, if Juliet had not only one man? What, if Romeo did not only poison one soul?
What, if stage and reality mix up until minds are struggling to tell what is an actor and what is an honest man, until minds can't tell lies and the truth apart, until Romeo and Juliet do not only act but are.
A vicious love story settled in the ancient London, including liars, betrayers, psychopaths, lovers and strangers.

Elizabeth
Some things are never meant to happen the way that they happen. Some things are not supposed to break the way they break, but we are not in charge of this earth. We cannot oversee how things are fixed and how they break. We are only capable of putting the pieces back together...mending broken hearts and healing empty souls. Why him? They ask her constantly. Why the heartless man to comfort the hurting soul? Because, she always responds, even after countless mood swings, crazy demands, constant reassurance, and stupid arguments, he never gave up on her. Why her? They would ask her every time. He'd respond the same. Because I don't want to court her in bed. I want to love her in life. Polar opposites attract. Elizabeth and Romeo attract. They just want to love each other in life through the pain, the agony, the abuse, the depression, the anxiety, the mafia, the breaking, the fixing, the helping, the hurting. It's just love at the end of the day.Complete
