Romeo & Juliet

Romeo and Juliet are the greatest lovers in world literature only because they never had to live together, but died in time. In the case of our most unfortunate comedy, it was not the lovers who died, but love. In the fifth act of Mr. Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet's three-day marriage ends with a letter that does not arrive in time. The death of the two is therefore a mistake.

In our completely unknown marriage tragedy, the whole marriage turns out to be a mistake. Where is the romance after 30 years of everyday life? The children are out of the house, business is going well - and suddenly an old love and a young actress appear and everyone involved falls in love again! Immediately there are lies, sex and betrayal, a fencing match between two old neurotics, financial ruin, a young love, a spurned love, a desperate love, a dead love, an erotic love and a love of coconuts, because as William Shakespeare himself says: "To be wise and to love no man can!"
