Star Crossed Fools
(or something like that)
From the whimsical, to the surreal, to the tragic and back again, Star Crossed Fools is an original script based around the timeless action of Romeo and Juliet. Over the course of one Shakespearean tragedy, both audience and cast immerse themselves in a dramatic and comical storyline. With multiple-choice endings and audience participation, the fate of the actors, characters, costume and even music is entirely in your hands.
Premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Company on the Garden Holloway Theatre as part of the Open Stage 2024 Season. Star Crossed Fools was our biggest and most ambitious project to date. Taking you by the hand, this comical and dramatic piece was filled with twists and turns throughout, even leading to multiple endings. Throughout the show, the audience would be faced with choices that would ultimately change the outcome of certain scenes and overall change the story. One moment they found themselves in a Wild West tale of Romeo and Juliet and the next in a SCI-FI Alien thriller between the Montagues and the Capulets. The story became their own.
