“We’ll put our initials right here…and that way this place is ours, see? That way, they can stay there forever…”

R plus J (a new play)

When two star-crossed lovers find themselves thrust together in the afterlife with someone they barely know, they must reconcile past mistakes as they attempt to turn their monumental passion into a sustainable love that can last for all of eternity. Simultaneously humorous and heartbreaking, R plus J (a new play) tells a tale of love, loss, youth, and innocence through a contemporary exploration of one of the most infamous romances of all time.
