About VERMILLION!
In a true Shakespearean style, this play consists of three plots all woven together. This reverse ROMEO AND JULIET story holds two love stories one forced by a spell cast by the recipient's parents, and the other pure natural love, both connected by the threat of a looming war. Will the couples make it out? Will the country survive? Will the baroness get her special gown? Who can know when anything goes in this thrilling adventure only described by one word; VERMILLION!
