Rosaline Wrecked It All by Stephen Kaplan

If only Rosaline had gone to the party, Romeo and Juliet would never have met and all would be OK in Verona. In this modern-day sequel to Romeo and Juliet, Rosaline is blamed for everything that went down and fights to clear her name and place the blame where she feels it belongs - anywhere but on her.

Available as both a full-length and one-act competition version.

    “ This is such an upbeat and fun play. The modern twist really sets the play up in such a relatable and understandable way but keeps the original magic of Shakespeare’s classic. This is absolutely one of my favorite plays. Audiences of all ages will leave with something to take away. ”

    “ A great spin on Shakespeare that has some lessons to teach about how things work out and how we move on to what's next. ”

8 female-identifying, 6 male-identifying, 6 gender-neutral (full-length version - plus extra chorus can be in classroom and other scenes)
4 female-identifying, 2 male-identifying, 8 any gender (one-act competition version)

though there is flexibility throughout beyond these suggestions and pronouns and titles can be changed accordingly

The cast should reflect the diverse ethnicities, races, abilities, genders... that make up our world.
