Everybody knows Shakespeare — and everybody knows they\u2019ve met people in high school who are exactly like the characters in his plays.<\/p>\n

Romeo\/The Player<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You know that guy who falls for every girl? And every girl falls for him? ROMEO.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth\/The Power Couple<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

The quarterback. The head cheerleader. Everyone loves them, but you know they’ve got some secrets.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

King Lear\/The Stressed Senior<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

This is the guy who still worries about his homework even though he has none\u00a0at the end of the school year. He is freaking out<\/em> about graduation.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Juliet\/The Drama Queen<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

She says she\u2019s going to marry her boyfriend she\u2019s been dating for about a week. This is the girl that takes it too far. Toooooo far.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Hamlet\/The Drama King<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

He’s always upset about something. Always talking about himself and his drama. Loves theatre.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

The Nurse\/Your Favorite Teacher<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

She\u2019s always got your back and she loves you to pieces. This is the teacher you come to for advice on anything.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Puck\/Your Ambiguously Gay Best Friend<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You never know if they’re into you or into the male lead, but you’re best friends no matter what.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Katherina\/The Bitter Senior<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

She’s bitter she never got a lead role during senior year.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Ophelia\/The Musical Theatre Nerd<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

She’s obsessed with musicals, a little bit nuts, and she sings at every opportunity. But she’s sweet and generous. (Hey nonny nonny and a ha-cha-cha.)<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Dogberry\/The Passionate\u00a0Stage Manager<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
