This comedy by Ephraim Kishon takes a humorous and ironic look at the married life of Romeo and Juliet, more than 30 years after their supposed deaths. The couple, Romeo as a ballet teacher and Juliet as a nagging housewife, struggle with the usual challenges of a monotonous married life, somewhere between "Who's going to do the washing up?" and "Do you still love me?". Her rebellious daughter Lucretia, the gossipy wet nurse and the charming, albeit demented, Father Lorenzo add to the turbulence. When the ghost of William Shakespeare appears, he tries to bring order to the undignified goings-on. The resolution of the dilemma is splendid and more than surprising for everyone involved!
