VEN (NEW YORK) —  Gay, star-crossed lovers,  whose feuding families forbid them to see one another, are driven to suicide after their ill-conceived plan to outwit everyone so they can finally be together results in the destruction of Syria, Nicaragua, North Korea, Israel, Iran, and — in a devastatingly ironic final twist — inadvertently ushers in WW-III, the very thing they were trying to prevent!

In A Pox On Both Your Houses,  avant-garde director Nicholas Bottom brings his compelling contemporary rendering of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Romeo and Juliet to life on May 23rd at New York’s Shakespeare In The Park.

The all-LGBTQ production features Rosie O’Donnell as Trump, Neil Patrick Harris as Putin, Chaz Bono as Mercutio, and — as yet unconfirmed —  former President Barrack Obama as Friar Laurence.

Tickets are available at the box office the day of the performance.
