Juliet: A Revenge Comedy

What if Juliet doesn’t kill herself? In Juliet: A Revenge Comedy, the titular character, played by Lili Beaudoin, breaks free from her tragic fate. Instead of succumbing to despair, she embarks on a quest to understand her story and the stories of other female characters penned by Shakespeare. With the help of Jessie Award-winner Carly Pokoradi playing these notable figures, they seek answers to why they have been doomed to die.

This film is not just a comedy; it is a literary adventure that challenges the conventions of classic narratives. With Shakespeare himself, portrayed by Ryan Gladstone, in pursuit of the characters, the stakes are high as they try to change their destinies. The film was shot in February 2024 at The Cultch’s Historic Theatre in Vancouver, adding a unique backdrop to this fresh take on Shakespeare's canon. The combination of action, comedy, and literary themes makes it appealing to fans of both modern storytelling and classic literature.
