About The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
The tragic story of young love thwarted by a family feud. Two rival Veronese families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are warned that their constant brawls must end and that death threatens anyone who disturbs the peace. Romeo, the Montague heir, attends a masquerade dance at the Capulets' home. Juliet, the Capulets' daughter, and Romeo meet and fall immediately in love. They arrange to be married in secret the next day. When Romeo kills Tybalt, a Capulet, in a fierce duel, he is banished from Verona. When her father insists she marry another man, Juliet takes a potion that makes her appear dead. Romeo, believing that Juliet is dead, drinks a poison and dies by her side. When she revives and sees Romeo is dead, Juliet stabs herself. Only after the double tragedy are the families finally reconciled.
