Romeo & Julien

Shakespeare's ill-fated tale of two star-crossed lovers takes a new spin with a transgendered young man as the female ingenue. With the bitter passing of Proposition 8, this adaptation couldn't be more timely and expressive, portraying an enduring love story maligned by Fate. You may think you know this classic tragic story about forbidden love, but you've never seen it like this before.

Boy meets boy. Boy thinks boy is a girl. Boy falls in love, even after finding out "she" is a "he" ~ Your typical love story.

Capulet wants his transgendered son, Julien, to marry a lovely lady of noble heritage. Romeo is in love with Rosaline. When Romeo meets a beautiful young lady at a masquerade ball, his heart melts. Romeo is unaware that the beautiful girl is Julien cross-dressed. His heart remains true and the two battle to stay together in a society that wants to keep them apart. Can they prevail? The rest, you know, is tragic history.
