Full-length: Meet Romeo before he became Juliet’s lover. He’s a heartbreaking, earthshaking, sixteen-year-old boy that has the world – and women – on a string. In this unofficial prequel to the Shakespearean tragedy, Romeo hasn’t learned his lesson when it comes to women. But Juliet’s cousin Rosaline, thrown out of her hometown because of scandal, arrives in Verona and is convinced to turn the tables on Romeo by breaking his heart. In actuality, she wants what she can’t have: Paris – Juliet’s arranged husband and the only man that is unaffected by Rosaline’s charm. Through masterful manipulation, Rosaline attempts to orchestrate her love life and the love lives of everyone around her, inadvertently becoming the force that drives many of the events in Romeo & Juliet.
