Juliet & Romeo

Verona 1499, at the birth of the Renaissance. Two young people meet: Romeo, desperate for love before being sent away to study; and Juliet, facing a forced marriage to a nobleman she doesn't know. Fate and circumstance bring them together in a desperate attempt to thwart their parents with a secret marriage. But in a single fateful week their intricate scheming falls terribly apart. Shakespeare's most well-known and well-loved play has been turned into a gripping romantic thriller with a modern twist. Rich with the sights and smells of medieval Italy, peopled with a vibrant cast of characters who spring from the page, this is Shakespeare as you've never read it before.
