		Yes, a hapless Friar Laurence, who dispensed the deadly potions, is on the hot seat as he tries to explain his role in the demise of Romeo and Juliet.

Friar Laurence: The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet," this summer effort co-produced by Chicago Shakespeare and the sketch-comedy meisters from Wells Street is a good notch better than "Hamlet the Musical," which did nicely in this slot a couple of years ago.
