Romeo, as Shakespeare intended

William Shakespeare continues to inspire. The latest work to rely on the playwright's classic tale, Romeo and Juliet, has a decidedly gay twist.

Private Romeo takes place at an isolated military school, featuring eight young men dealing with the tangled mess of a love not meant to be.

As per the website: "Incorporating the original text of ‘Romeo and Juliet’, YouTube videos, and lip-synched Indie rock music, Private Romeo takes us to a mysterious and tender place that only Shakespeare could have inspired."
