What if your first true love was someone you'd been told to hate? Ripped apart by the bitter divisions of their parents, two young people will risk everything to be together. The most famous story of love at first sight explodes with intense passion and an irresistible desire for change. Will this spark a revolution or will division continue to tear through generations?

This play was written in 1595-6 and is set in Verona, Italy, at a time when a long standing feud between two noble families - the Montagues and the Capulets - constantly breaks out into brawling on the streets. Prince Escalus, ruler of Verona, threatens terrible punishment on anyone who takes part in further violence.

My notes
Viewing this production for the new upload I was reminded of seeing high school Summer Shakespeare productions for a number of seasons where I live and there is little accessible live theatre. Recently in this collection I have added a number of performances exclusively for young performers such as "The Wolves".
The story is familiar and many versions are out there.
In this current viewing I'll note that this is a blend of a version with subtitles for the
play. I've added in the introduction and interval feature which I had edited in my previous upload of this production. Here then is a more complete version of that RSC production. The interval extra reminded me a bit of "Hamlet" with Benedict Cumberbatch, not in the telling of the play but in the extras where he visits with young performers. With that in mind, my file share collection also includes a documentary called Shakespeare High which is well worth the viewing not just by teachers but by all. In viewing this production perhaps the viewer will look for what this young talent has done since 2018.
An NFO file contains information on my available torrents and some additionals on
Romeo and Juliet. NFO files as well as SRT files can be read with Notepad ++-- a free program easily available to download.
For those interested in subtitle translations, a help file is included to use the
online translator. A subtitle work folder has the RSC English SRT extracted from the play.
