The Shakespeare Project (Narrative Feature)
LOGLINE
Cadets at an all-male military high school are assigned ‘Romeo and Juliet’ in their literature class and while
reading the play aloud in class the cadets begin to identify with the infectious passion and energy of their
characters. In their enthusiasm, they carry ‘Romeo and Juliet’ out of the classroom and onto the campus
– to the fi ring range, the gym, the mess hall and to the barracks…and eventually into an alternative reality
called Verona where ‘Romeo and Juliet’ will actually play out.
In the dark of night (and sometimes under the infl uence of smuggled alcohol) they begin to inhabit their
roles in ways that weave their real and theatrical identities in unpredictable and discomforting ways – and
disrupt their isolated lives irrevocably.
