Shakespeare’s tragic drama of the “star-crossed” young lovers Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet is best remembered for the famous balcony scene. Romeo and Juliet are teenagers who fall deeply in love but their families are bitter enemies. They seize the moment and marry in secret. They make every effort to conceal their actions but these end in tragedy when Romeo, Juliet, Tybalt, Mercutio and Paris all die.
The story itself was not anything new or different, but the way Shakespeare wrote the story in 1595 made it popular.
Romeo and Juliet was a delightful play, and enjoyed by the audience, especially the high school students who loudly laughed and cheered!
