"Here's much to do with hate, but more with love" Romeo and Juliet (1.1. 172). What if Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet had told a different story? Mercutio and Tybalt. Sworn enemies and... fated lovers. In this fresh twist on one of the world's most famous love stories, Starcrossed reveals the intrigue and passion of a forbidden romance forged in strife, stifled by circumstance and silenced by history. Reimagining Shakespeare's verse for the modern age, Rachel Garnet's tender, witty and heart- wrenching new play gives unfairly sidelined characters new life, and has received critical acclaim since first premiering at the New York International Fringe Festival.
