This prequel to Romeo and Juliet follows the journey of Rose from country girl to matriarch, navigating her repression and power in 16th Century Verona.

“Melissa Bell reimagines the life of Juliet’s mother in the years before the events of Romeo & Juliet in this classical prequel.” –Time Out NY
"Tantalizing ... Maybe [Shakespeare] had one this whole time and just kept it to himself… it’s a juicy one”
