When I read the synopsis of this, I thought to myself "awesome!". I wasn't a big English lover in high school but when we would read Shakespeare I was all up in that stuff. I loved it.

Imagine what would happen if Romeo survived (physically, anyway) the double suicide that took away Shakespeare's famous star-crossed lovers. Imagine what might happen if a certain Danish prince with his own family problems steps in to assist the mourning Italian, all the while hoping to accomplish r...
