Shakespeare's tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the tale of two ill-fated lovers, determined to be together at any cost, despite objections from their feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets.
In their quest for happiness, betrayals must be made; family bonds, and even lives, are sacrificed. During the course of the play, the lovers endeavor to overcome all that stands in their way – be it arranged marriage, family objection or the threat of execution when Romeo is accused of murder and ordered into exile.
Romeo and Juliet has been attracting audiences for five centuries. It continues to enthrall with its well-known tale of romance and tragedy and has long been renowned for being the ultimate love story of all time.
