Nothing could come between Romeo and Juliet. Not the most bitter mafia rivalries, nor the itchiest poison ivy, nor even the wooings of an alleged vampire could tear them apart. Yes, the love of Romeo and Juliet could survive anything. Well, except for poison. Romeo, You Idiot is a relentlessly irreverent spoof of Shakespeare's original. (A full-length version of this play is also available.)
