I had the pleasure of seeing this play at the 2024 Midwest Dramatists Conference in Kansas City. What if "Romeo and Juliet" had a post credit scene like the Marvel superhero movies? And what if it occurred just before Juliet's death? Greg Lam takes this idea and runs with it, but to say much more would be telling. A fun, quick romp!

10/1/24: It's a wonder when comic book nerds and classical theatre nerds inhabit the same mind - Greg Lam has created a masterful short. The Shakespeare-verse is full of bleak endings, but what if one could jump the tracks of one's pre-written circumstances and circumvent the Bard's plans? "Juliet's Post Credits Scene" imagines a compelling what-if with pitch-perfect emulation of Shakespearean cadence, and plenty of humor to match. An excellent addition to any short play festival!

I saw this as a reading at the Midwest Dramatists Conference and was enthralled by the clever premise of a Shakespeare "multi-verse" (as someone who has directed a lot of Shakespeare, I'm shocked it never occurred to me!). Making Shakespeare an antagonist in his own world presents a truly great plot structure and left me wanting to see Juliet and Horatio bounce through all the plays!
