Teen Perspectives Lab Presentation: Rosaline Wrecked It All

Overview

Romeo and Juliet are dead. It was a terrible tragedy, and everyone blames Rosaline. If only she had gone to that party, the star-crossed lovers would never have met, and all would be well in Verona. But she did not, and they did, and so now it is not—and everyone blames her. With expulsion from Fair Verona Prep a day away, Rosaline and her two best friends race to clear her name. This modern-day sequel to Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet explores peer pressure, social cliques, and how we move on after a tragedy. Will the search for the truth yield answers that no one—not even Rosaline—was expecting? By Stephen Kaplan.
