FOUR girls are slaying Shakespeare’s Romeo And Juliet under the Handlebards banner. In Shakespeare’s tale, Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a ball, and marry in secret in the cell of Friar Lawrence. The next day, Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, challenges Romeo to a duel as he attended the Capulet ball without invitation. Tybalt stabs Mercutio, and in a fit of rage, Romeo kills Tybalt, resulting in his banishment from Verona. Juliet drinks a potion which makes her a living corpse, so that she could escape with Romeo, once the friar has sent him her letter.
