Prince of Cats
Prince of Cats | Ron Wimberly, Ronald Wimberly
2 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
A hip-hop retelling of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet that focuses on Tybalt (derisively referred to as the Prince of Cats) and his Capulet crew as they do battle nightly with the hated Montagues. Set in a Blade Runner-esque version of Brooklyn, PRINCE OF CATS is a mix of urban melodrama, samurai action and classic Shakespearean theater...all written in Iambic Pentameter!

Prince of Cats is a Brooklyn based retelling of Romeo and Juliet, following Tybalt. My favorite scene was the Shakespearean style insults delivered at Nathan's.

readinginthedark I'll have to pick this up! Romeo and Juliet isn't one of my favorites, but I really enjoy the retellings from side character perspectives! 8y
AmandaL @readinginthedark It's more in the spirit of Romeo and Juliet than a faithful retelling. It's an interesting take on the characters and use of language. 🙂 8y
