Imagine if Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare took place in the 1880's in the Dakota Territories of the newly won USA. What would Romeo be like? Well, he would be the son of the chief of a Sioux village threatened by the white presence. What would Capulet be like? I think he would be a white settler with a coal company that he uses to fund his campaigns for mayor of a new town near the Black Hills. Below are some costume designs for such a situation for the two famed characters.
