The young lovers have dispatched themselves with poison and knife, and the curtain has come down on Romeo and Juliet.  Saddened by this tragedy, the Capulets and Montagues declare peace between their families.  But the kids are still feuding.  Benvolio (Romeo’s best friend) loves Rosaline (Romeo’s girlfriend before he met Juliet), but she still pines for Romeo—and she wants revenge.  Filled with love, laughter and swordplay, this sequel is based on an original idea by Keira Knightley and written by her mother, with thanks to William Shakespeare.
