A Guinea Pig Romeo & Juliet cover

True love blossoms in this retelling of Shakespeare’s classic play, adorably adapted with an all-star cast of guinea pigs

‘These guinea pigs really know how to act’ The Times Born into the litters of two rival families, star-cross’d lovers Romeo and Juliet fall tuft-over-paw for each other before learning that they are sworn enemies. ‘O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?’ squeaks Juliet from her balcony, before declarations of undying affection are made and a secret wedding is planned. But the path of true love does not run smooth, and Romeo soon finds himself banished from the city of Verona after playing his part in a fatal brawl with Juliet’s family. In a desperate attempt to scurry away together, they devise a plan fraught with danger that eventually leads to heart-break… Discover Shakespeare’s classic tale of romance and tragedy, retold in an entirely new way.
