It was the lark
A light-hearted tragedy by Ephraim Kishon
Romeo and Juliet live - and fight.
What if the most tragic love story of all time had no tragic ending at all?
The most famous couple in world literature find themselves not dead in Verona, but alive in a bourgeois everyday life, decades after their supposedly tragic end.
Romeo is a tired civil servant, Juliet a frustrated wife, and daughter Lucretia brings a breath of fresh air - and plenty of chaos - into the dusty marriage. But then William Shakespeare himself turns up to complain about the wayward progress of his play...
A lively exchange of blows about love, everyday life and marital madness.
