| Romeo and Juliet Date Other People by Jon Jory |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 10. No chorus. |
| Run Time | Around 27 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act comedy starting from Shakespeare and straying a good way. Simple to stage. Written in American English. |
| Synopsis | Romeo's wooing of Juliet fails when both run out of poetry, so they agree to take a break and see other people. Romeo's dates with Lady Macbeth, Cleopatra, and the Wicked Witch of the West don't go well, nor do Juliet's with Paris, Iago and Oberon. Maybe the star-cross'd lovers are the only ones right for each other. |

| Romeo and Juliet in Sixteen and a Half Minutes or Less by Christine Harvey |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 8. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 12. Minimum total without doubling = 25. No chorus. |
| Run Time | Around 18 minutes. [Estimated!] This would be a calm production but it is intended to be played faster! |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Modern language version of Romeo and Juliet. No set requirements. |
| Synopsis | Does what it says on the label - although to get down below sixteen and a half minutes, the play needs to be done (as intended) at manic pace. [Our estimate is that a steadty pace would run to 18 minutes.] Follows the plot and structure of the original work (so structurally in five acts). |
