“Still A Rose” Gives Us Romeo And Romeo—And Juliet And Juliet

"The most famous love story ever told, reimagined through the lens of equal love."

From: NewNowNext

A trailer for the short film Still A Rose is presenting the Shakespeare classic Romeo and Juliet through an LGBT lens.

Pretty Little Liars’ Troian Bellisario stars as one of two Juliets in the film, which also features two Romeos, as they are mixed and matched in different pairings to illustrate “equal love in unequaled prose.”

The film’s YouTube page describes the project by writing, “Refocusing literature’s most iconic young lovers, Still A Rose weaves through couplings of mixed-race and same-gender within the arc of the famous balcony scene (Act II, Scene II) from Romeo and Juliet.”

The balcony scene interweaves with both same-sex and straight pairings for a new look at an old classic.
