A New Travesty On Romeo And Juliet is a satirical play written by Charles Carroll Soule in 1877. The play is a parody of William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, and it pokes fun at the melodramatic plot and characters of the original play.The story follows the same basic plot as Romeo and Juliet, with two young lovers from rival families who fall in love and ultimately meet a tragic end. However, Soule adds a comedic twist to the story by exaggerating the characters' emotions and actions.The play features a cast of exaggerated characters, including a flamboyant Romeo, a ditzy Juliet, a bumbling Friar Laurence, and a comically villainous Tybalt. The dialogue is filled with puns, wordplay, and absurd humor.Despite its comedic tone, A New Travesty On Romeo And Juliet still manages to touch on some of the themes and messages of the original play, such as the destructive nature of feuds and the power of love.Overall, A New Travesty On Romeo And Juliet is a lighthearted and entertaining take on one of Shakespeare's most famous works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
