WHAT TO PREPARE:
Please prepare ONE SHAKESPEAREAN monologue (comedic or dramatic) totaling NO MORE THAN TWO MINUTES.

WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
Romero and Juliet.
Believe it. We're actually doing Shakespeare. But we're doing it Stray Cat style! How's that you say? Well...with zombies. Lots and lots of zombies! When a strange meteor smashes into that famous ship en route to Illyria, the bodies pile up even faster than the romantic complications. Can true love conquer being turned into a zombie? Can a zombie be made to understand the affairs of the heart...without eating it? Stray Cat provides all the answers in this irreverently, insanely gory riff on The Bard's classic.
*Please Note -- For this show, the front row will likely be a ‘splash zone'. Just saying.
