Romeo and Juliet

Overview

The Greatest Love Story of all time.

Four hundred years ago they died for their love. Shakespeare's timeless tale centers on a pair of young lovers cursed by the rivalry of their warring families-the Montagues and Capulets. An impassioned look at prejudice, Romeo & Juliet captures the beauty and violence of a youthful passion.

First produced in 1593, Romeo Juliet is the only tragedy that Shakespeare has written entirely on a love-story. The ultimate joy of this play lies in our awareness that such vibrant youthful love can neither be suppressed nor denied; it will survive. The ultimate sorrow of this play lies in our painful awareness that the human beings who together create this love will never live to enjoy it.
