What if Romeo and Juliet got a second chance?
R & J & Z starts with Act V of Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet and keeps going,...... as the famous lovers navigate a world in which death isn't necessarily the end.
Set against the historical backdrop of Verona's plague, this new verse play, written by Melody Bates, throws old and new characters together over the course of an apocalyptic and action-packed 24 hours.
Equally inspired by Shakespeare and modern zombie films, R & J & Z pushes the boundaries of theatrical humor and horror.

“This is a smart, fun, high-spirited and irreverent sequel to Romeo and Juliet that is at the same time a loving homage to the play. At first blush the premise may sound outlandish, but it turns out to provide an excellent frame for the new play to take up some of the unfinished business of Shakespeare's play.”
