Description When Shakespeare told Romeo and Juliet that he wanted to
immortalise their story, the couple were delighted. Unfortunately,
he changed some of the details: they didn’t die in a tragic misunderstanding, they grew up and lived happily ever after. Well, they grew up and lived, at least. Now they’re 40ish, at least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis, they feel constantly mocked by their teenage selves and haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love. They have decided to confront their current struggles by putting on a performance - about themselves. Their therapist told them it was a terrible idea.
