Romeo and Juliet are young, in love, surrounded by people giving them advice—and somehow determined to make things more complicated.
Sound familiar?
As Benedictine’s production of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet takes the stage this weekend, the ROOK gang discovers that Shakespeare may have understood young people remarkably well.
The difference is that today’s college students have group chats.
ROOK is a daily original college newspaper comic about friendship, faith, growing up, and the odd little places where life becomes meaningful. Set in and around Benedictine College and Atchison, ROOK finds the humor in campus life, friendships, faith, sports, romance, traditions, and the strange logic of being young.
A new ROOK strip appears every day at noon CST.
