His plays have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

  Voice Memo from Juliet

  romeo. romeo. ugh, why does he have to be a montague? i wish he’d just change his name. or if he said he’ll me forever, then i’d give up my last name. c-ya, capulet! what’s the point of names anyway? srsly. you could call a a different name, and it would still just as sweet. grr. stop being a montague and we can be together, romeo! that’s better than anything else.

  i don’t want my family to you yelling. they’ll be srsly upset. i’m talking, like, pissed.

  how did you even get here? the walls around here are really high.

  Romeo

  I scaled them, NBD. I couldn’t wait to see you again!

  And I’m not afraid of your family.

  Juliet

  you should be. if they see you here, they’ll kill you!

  Romeo

  So what? That’s nothing compared to being rejected by you. Chill.

  Juliet

  sorry, it’s just…i’d do anything to make sure they don’t catch you.

  Romeo

  Hello. I’m hidden in the dark. Plus, if you’re not into me after all, then I’d rather be dead.

  Juliet

  srsly, how did you know where my bedroom was?

  Romeo

  I just followed my . It led the way.

  Juliet

  it’s a good thing it’s dark. you’re making me blush.

  Juliet

  what else is there to say?

  Romeo

  For starters, I’d be happy if we promised to each other forever. I’m talking, like, making it real. Like, married real.
