Why Am I Always Juliet?
Romeo has storms. Juliet has a dagger. Shakespeare has no idea.By Rachel LawsonRecorded TrackLength1h 13m
About this audiobook
Lucius Silver is a Shakespearean actor from the future — brilliant, stubborn, and eternally furious about being cast as Juliet. Blake. aka Mortimer is the King of Death in disguise — a storm‑summoner who hates romance, costumes, and being forced to play Romeo. When Queen Elizabeth I orders them onto Shakespeare’s stage, the Globe Theatre becomes a battlefield of magic, miscasts, and sheer theatrical chaos.
Lightning strikes. Daggers fly. Juliet keeps trying to kill the playwright. Romeo keeps causing storms. Shakespeare thinks every disaster is “genius,” and the Queen wants a show no matter how many props explode.
A fast, funny, supernatural comedy where fate, death, and Elizabethan theatre collide, Why Am I Always Juliet? follows two immortals who would rather die (again) than kiss onstage — and somehow end up stealing the spotlight anyway.
