Bretzie stars as Romeo and Juliet

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 2010 housemates Bret Jackson and Fretzie Bercede will cast as star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, a stage production on September 24 at Mandaue City Sports and Cultural Complex, 11 AM and 6 PM.

“Forbidden love is the best kind of love.” ~Bret Jackson II

Such passionate words coming from a young man who is so full of life, and madly in love with his on and off-cam leading lady (Fretzie Bercede). Neither of them knowing that a year after they first met, they would play the lead roles of the ultimate love story. Was it destiny? Perhaps…

The tale of Romeo and Juliet and the struggles they had to face closely resembles that of BRETZIE‘s love story… both met at a gathering, and at a time where the leading lady was already paired with someone else. Yet somehow, our protagonists manage to find ways to make it work. They found their strengths in each other, and together faced the world… against all odds.

Romeo was an eloquent young man, wise beyond his years; while Juliet was a beautiful and demure young maiden, who lived a sheltered life, until destiny willed that their paths cross and intertwine. Similarly, Bret and Fretzie share the same qualities as Romeo and Juliet… Bret known for his powerful and witty one-liners, and Fretzie for her demure and conservative manners. True to form, BRETZIE‘s struggles as a loveteam has had to endure a lot of hardships and oppositions, just as Romeo and Juliet had. Forbidden love… so beautiful… so passionate… so REAL… and yet, so bittersweet. (Text Courtesy of four aces)
