"'Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?'" Pete clasped his hands and fluttered his eyelashes as he delivered the best-known line in falsetto. In his regular voice, he said, "He was right there under the balcony, that's wherefore he was arting."
"She isn't asking where he is, she's asking why that's his name," I snapped.
"Well, that makes more sense," Pete snickered. "Personally, I'd have named him Bob."

When rancher Dave Hunter and his younger brother, Pete, get roped into a misbegotten small-town production of Romeo and Juliet, their longtime inability to communicate with each other threatens to tank the performance, destroy their already rocky relationship—and possibly get one of them killed.
With much ado about everything, P. Jo Anne Burgh expertly maneuvers these star-crossed brothers through a lighthearted tangle of conflicts from auditions to opening night. Because when Shakespeare comes to town, everybody is in for quite a ride.
