Was the greatest love story of all time a lie? Romeo Montague is
handsome and charming and the first time he sees young Rosaline
Capulet, who has secretly snuck into his family's masquerade summer
ball, he falls instantly in love. At first Rosaline is unsure of
Romeo's attentions but with her father determined that she join the
nunnery, Romeo offers her the chance of a different life. Gradually
he convinces her that only true love could make him feel this way,
that he is enraptured by her beauty. Indeed, he cannot live without
her! And so begins the story of Romeo and Rosaline. These
star-crossed lovers must keep everything hidden from Rosaline's
family, at least until they are wed. But when a destitute young
girl appears, claiming to be carrying Romeo's child, Rosaline
starts to doubt all that she has been told. And as whispers of more
girls reach her ears, what once felt like a courtship begins to
feel more like a pursuit. As Rosaline recognises Romeo for the
villain he truly is, his gaze turns suddenly towards Rosaline's
adored and beautiful cousin, thirteen-year old Juliet. Can Rosaline
save Juliet, who falls under Romeo's spell just as quickly as she
did? Or can this story only ever end one way? The subversive,
powerful untelling of Shakespeare's best know tale. A fierce,
forgotten voice: this is Rosaline's story.
