Synopsis
"Basically Shakespeare's text, severely cut and then supplemented with dialogue stolen from each of Shakespeare's plays and one or two other sources, in such a way as to play up the Shakespearianness of it, and the setting was transposed to backstage of a modern day amateur company's production of Romeo & Juliet" (qtd. from Whiteley, David. Email to Jennifer Ailles).
