Happy Halloween


Last summer featured a production of the new play R&J&Z (Romeo and Juliet and Zombies) purporting to show what happens after Shakespeare gave up once his protagonists died.


Zombies are the monsters du jour
Invading Shakesperean literature
- Romeo and Juliet -
Not Macbeth or Hamlet
Does undying love still endure?

If Jane Austen were alive today would she be writing about Zombies?


Zombies now haunt Pemberly!
Incongruity to the highest degree!
The undead have been tossed in
The world of Jane Austen
Of etiquette and lively repartee.
