AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Juliet and Clinton are in love. Guileless, sweet, all-encompassing love. However, love is not without its impediments. Standing in the way of their eternal happiness are Juliet’s mother and sister, whose disapproval is of the most high-brow kind.

'Griffin is doing a Moliére! Why? Because that great Australian playwright, Justin Fleming, has audaciously brought this one screaming into 21st century Australia and it is fabulous. We love it.

'It’s sassy, it’s silly, it’s Sydney.' (Publication summary)
