Romeo and Juliet, an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s timeless play, tells the tragic story of two young lovers from feuding families.
The story opens with a grand ball where Romeo, of the Montague family, and Juliet, of the Capulet family, meet and fall deeply in love at first sight. Despite their families’ ongoing conflict, they secretly marry. However, their happiness is short-lived as a series of misunderstandings lead to their final acts of love culminating in a tragic story.
