Romeo and Juliet is one of William Shakespeare’s most famous and frequently performed tragedies. Set in sixteenth century Verona, it is the tale of the contested love between the children of two noble families who hate each other profoundly. Romeo, the son and heir of the Montague family, and Juliet Capulet, who have fallen hopelessly in love at a party, are immediately aware that their love is impossible. Only the death of the two young lovers, united forever in eternity, will reconcile the two rival families.
