Following three different stage productions in three different countries, this documentary - presents three very different interpretations of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Emotional meltdowns, twisted ankles and cast mutinies are all part of what it takes to be Romeo and Juliet at a youth summer camp production in Guelph, Ontario, an amateur production in Reading, England and a professional production, in a hip-hop style, at the Chilean National Theatre in Santiago. Accompanying the different lead actors as they prepare to portray the archetypal lovers, this program creates a vivid record of these individuals transforming themselves in an engaging and evocative consideration of theatre, acting and love.
