R plus J
Finalist: Shakespeare's New Contemporaries

Everyone knows the story of Romeo and Juliet, but what about what happened after? When two young lovers find themselves thrust together in the afterlife, they're forced to face past mistakes as they attempt to turn their monumental passion into a sustainable love that can last them for all of eternity. Simultaneously humorous and heartbreaking, R plus J tells a tale of love, loss, youth, and innocence through a contemporary exploration of one of the most infamous romances of all time.
