Juliet and Her Romeo in the New Millennium

Synopsis
Short independent film. Three modern-day Juliets, while waiting for their boyfriends to show up for dinner, share three erotic dream-like versions of what might happen in bawdy Shakespearean rhyme. Lanier (op cit) notes that ‘The script’s pseudo Shakespearean verse is so overwritten and filled with phallic puns that it is nearly incomprehensible’.
