About Romeo and Juliet
1597
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous and beautifully written love stories of all time. It’s also a sharp, tragic, and deeply human play about fate, family, and impulsive decisions. Shakespeare’s language, poetic and powerful, brings to life the themes of love, conflict, and miscommunication in ways that continue to resonate.
Set in Verona, Italy, the play follows two teenagers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, who fall in love at first sight. The problem? Their families are bitter enemies. Despite their families' feud, they secretly marry. But a series of misunderstandings, duels, and twists lead the lovers toward a tragic ending. Shakespeare’s poetic language elevates the drama, making every scene vivid and emotionally charged.
Romeo and Juliet has given us some of the most iconic lines in English literature such as: “Parting is such a sweet sorrow,” and “These violent delights have violent ends.” Whether one knows the story or not, reading the actual play can be delightfully surprising—there’s humor, fast-paced action and poetic language. Whether encountering it for the first time or returning to it with fresh eyes, Romeo and Juliet offers an unforgettable journey through love, fate, and the poetry of human experience.
