When it comes to theatre, it seems like everything has been explored. Whether the goal is to shock or offend, standing out in this medium is challenging. So why not take theatre into the digital realm and embrace surrealism over shock and melodrama?
Enter PBJ - The Musical, a quirky, handmade mobile game that reimagines Shakespeare's classic play, Romeo & Juliet, through the lens of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Set to launch on iPhone and iPad on March 26th, this game offers players the choice to either guide the story themselves or let it unfold automatically.
The narrative unfolds across ten musical acts, featuring handmade stop-motion animation and amateur Shakespearean voice-acting. Players can drag and drop story elements to create a unique rendition each time, guiding a star-crossed pair of lovers—a peanut and a strawberry—through this bizarre reinterpretation of classic theatre.

The term "quirky" truly applies here, and your appreciation for such eccentricity will likely determine your interest in playing PBJ - The Musical. The effort put into this upcoming release is evident, and I'm eager to see how it will be received by players when it becomes available on iOS on March 26th.
Speaking of musicals, it's worth noting that PBJ - The Musical isn't the only recent musical game on mobile platforms. Adventures of a Cat in Space offers a similar experience, though it focuses on a cat stranded in space rather than a new take on Shakespeare.
