'Two cousins unalike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene...'

It's 1396 and courtship is complicated. Rosaline has been dumped, Juliet is in love, and it's unclear who has it worse.

When events at the Capulet Ball set fate in motion, Ros and Ju must navigate accidental murders, love triangles and the peaks and pits of female friendship. A new, comedic, take on Shakespeare's most famous love story; how far will Rosaline and Juliet go in the pursuit of their happily ever after? This is a love story, but not the one you think.

Tale Blazers creates irreverent but affectionate reimaginings of canonical stories with contemporary values at the core. 'Rosaline and Juliet' asks the question: would Juliet Capulet meet a different fate with the support of a female friend? 'Rosaline and Juliet' parallels Shakespeare's original text with a "behind-the-scenes" comic narrative, that celebrates flawed female characters.
