The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet (full-length)

Overview

A whimsical reinvention of Shakespeare’s tragic love story, complete with rhymed couplets, creative wordplay and fantastical machines – similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with if he ever had his way with the script. Full of grand tragedy, uproarious comedy and more rhymes than a rhyming dictionary, this version of Romeo and Juliet has never been so Seussified.

Also available in a one-act version.

The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet is not affiliated, endorsed or sponsored by Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
