'After Juliet' by Sharman Macdonald. In collaboration with the management of the “Teatru Astra”, the Gozo Creative Theatre Club will perform After Juliette penned by the Scottish playwright Sharman Macdonald.
In the immediate wake of the events in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, After Juliet focuses on the enforced truce which holds between the Capulets and the Montagues after the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Benvolio, Romeo's best friend, is in love with Rosaline, Juliet's cousin, but Rosaline is bent on revenge. The main question is whether history will repeat itself. This dramatic tale of the aftermath of tragedy illustrates how grief can turn into a quest for vengeance.
