OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

I am now looking for backers for a new production of ROMEO AND JULIET.

In this production, a kindly doctor will find the lovers at the last
possible moment and save them. He will then secret them off to France,
where they will have many children and live to a ripe old age.



I realize that this was not in Shakespeare's original work, but what did he
know.


Need I say it:  :-)
