Short Summary
This original story, created by Leigh Purtill, is for those who have a vivid imagination, a dark romantic soul and an intense desire to experience the underworld. It was inspired by a novel Leigh wrote as a sequel to Shakespeare's classic "Romeo & Juliet."
Beginning with the funeral of the star-crossed lovers, young Rosaline, distraught and refusing to accept the death of Romeo and her cousin Juliet, follows a strange but enticing woman into the cemetery where she is chased by a horde of zombies into the Underworld. There she encounters Vampires, Spiders, Gargoyles...and Romeo and Juliet! In order to escape and return home, Rosaline must win over the mighty Raven Queen and her flock and do battle against the evils of the Underworld.
