Unleashed 2019

I Wanna Fuck Like Romeo & Juliet

by Andrew Rincón, winner of the 2019 New Light New Voices Award.

The world is thrown into chaos as Cupid rips off her wings and gives up on Love. But Saint Valentine has a plan to bring her spirits back up; and it involves the relationship between two men. From outer space to Hackensack NJ, this queer love story of epic proportions investigates the shame and joy within queer love of color.

The Poet (Lauren Freman) looks on as St. Valentine (Frankie Sun) snap-tures some magic.
Benny (Stefan Richmond) and Alejandro (Roger Estrada) tries to work things out.
Cupid (Cessa Betancourt) is a Latina…what else did you expect?
Bettie, the Dental Hygienist (Minna Lee)
The Poet (Lauren Freman), Valentine (Frankie Sun) and Benny (Stefan Richmond)
Benny (Roger Estrada) gets interrogated by Cupid (Cessa Betancourt)
The Poet (Lauren Freman) is the Creatrix of this universe, so, of course they break the fourth wall to set the scene.
