A deconstruction of Romeo and Juliet, this adaptation explores Shakespeare's original play using only the scenes in which Juliet appears to re-imagine the narrative of this enigmatic young girl. Since Juliet cannot roam the world freely, everything that happens outside her home must be told to her by others, both Capulet and Montague alike. Juliet must try to piece together the harsh reality of a tragic love born in a hostile world.

A whimsical reinvention of Shakespeare's tragic love story, complete with rhymed couplets, creative wordplay, and fantastical machines -- similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with if he ever had his way with the script...

SIXTY-MINUTE SHAKESPEARE is an ideal alternative for those who lack the time or means to tackle the unabridged versions of the world's most widely read playwright. Cass Foster has judiciously condensed (without modernizing) the Bard's richly poetic language. He has skillfully retained the integrity of the text, allowing students to experience the thrill of the stories as well as the captivating imagery in the prose and verse. In addition, Foster has provided helpful footnotes on nearly every page explaining the more arcane words and phrases to help the reader better understand and appreciate each play.

It is 1936 and A. E. Housman is being ferried across the Styx, glad to be dead at last. His memories, however, are dramatically alive. THE  INVENTION OF LOVE uses the free form of memory to give a sympatic account of Housman in the age of Oscar Wilde, and it asks whose passion was really the fatal one?

By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead -- expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt objects to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago river, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.
