Summary
a queer revival of romeo and juliet (re: rory and juliet) is poised to become broadway’s next big event… if the two actresses cast as its lovers can convince the public they don’t hate each other, but feel the exact opposite.
longtime rivals maxine mayfield and elle “el” hopper are forced into a fake relationship to sell the production, personal resentment into spectacle. they are to not tell anyone about it, not even their friends, a secret held in the hands of their managers. fake smiles, carefully placed hands, and romance made for headlines blur the line between performance and truth in the minds of two confused girls.
the problem is that pretending to be in love night after night has a way of exposing everything they’ve been avoiding, especially when the world is watching.
