WE NEED BETTER FRIENDS
Horatio and Benvolio are both going through a lot right now. Like, a lot. Thank God they have each other.
In an unassuming apartment, Horatio (of Hamlet fame) and Benvolio (you know, the sane one from Romeo & Juliet) meet up to chill, eat pizza, and vent about their friends. But when annoying relationship drama becomes a matter of life and death, these two will have to learn to lean on each other like never before.
A modern examination of the survivors of two of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, We Need Better Friends navigates the ups, the downs, the laughs, and the tears that come with just trying to get through another day, and what it means to not do it alone.

In an effort to help them move on, Persephone coaxes from them some of their most painful stories - those of trauma, violence, loss. And in listening to their stories, Persephone just might find the courage to tell her own.
