Surviving Romeos and Juliets

Surviving Romeos and Juliets is a very funny play to watch and to perform. Jakob's mother is putting pressure on him, too much pressure. He needs to finish his Shakespeare assignment in record time to get her off of his back. He turns to the internet for help, but that help comes at a cost, a loud and somewhat confusing cost. In the tradition of Shakespeare's comedies, there is chaos on stage as characters dress up in clothes that change their gender.
The play has seven characters and only one set, making it easy to produce on a small stage. This play is recommended for high school drama productions because it allows teenagers, who love to perform, the opportunity to entertain an audience and make them laugh out loud a lot.
