Romeo vs. Juliet (originally "Ho, Ho, Juliet!" and "It Was the Lark") is the brilliant, world-produced comedy originally written by one of the world's most prolific satirists Ephraim Kishon that has been retranslated and adapted for the Modern Stage. It tells the story of the famous couple who escaped their perfect literary fate, and now, decades later, struggle with their imperfect marriage and rebellious daughter, scheming and dreaming of a better life...alone. Along with the
Nurse, the Priest and Shakespeare himself, the zingers and retorts abound, leading to a hysterical climax (or two).
