Question: Adaption of Romeo and Juliet!?
I'm looking for the name of a modern play that's loosely based off of Romeo and Juliet!. It's about these two families who want their kids to fall in love and get married but they know that the kids will do the opposite of what they want so they make up this whole plan to trick the kids by pretending to hate each other!. They plan to forbid the kids from seeing each other, much like Romeo and Juliet, and pretend that there's a feud going on!. Natually, the two kids come together because the family forbids it!. Anyone know the title to this play!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Fantasticks is the one that springs to mind immediately!. It's a musical, don't know if the play you're thinking of is a musical or not!? It's not West Side Story, because in that the families do NOT want the kids to get together, the feud is genuine not put-on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

West side Story!!! Thats exactly what it is! Www@QuestionHome@Com
