Still Star-Crossed is based on the book by Melinda Taub. Set in 16th century Verona after the events in William Shakespeare’s tragedy, it follows the conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues in the wake of Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. In the book, to end the family feud, Prince Escalus orders the most eligible Montague bachelor, Benvolio, Romeo’s best friend, to marry Juliet’s older cousin, Capulet maid Rosaline, the girl Romeo first loved.
