This article explores the process of deconstructing heteronormative narratives in Juliet and Juliet, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Juliet and Juliet follows the plot of Romeo and Juliet but reconfigures the content to foreground female homosexuality. Playwright Han Songhee situates the story of Juliet and Juliet as a prequel to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, expanding the homosexual motif in the play into a project of concealing and recovering homosexual narratives. A new character, Juliet from the Montague family, who does not exist in the original, is created and falls in love with Juliet from the Capulet family. Their love, opposed by their families, ultimately leads to a tragic death. The mature love of the two Juliets, who transform each other, transcends the tragic and forms new meanings outside of the compulsive heterosexual society. The female queer narrative in this play expands into a narrative of growth of finding one’s identity, confronting a closed reality. In a time when women’s narratives and solidarity are expanding in literature, popular culture, and the performing arts, Juliet and Juliet holds significant meaning as yet another creative work that embodies contemporary awareness.
