Sinopse: Romeo and Juliet is the world's most famous drama of tragic young love. Defying the feud which divides their families, Romeo and Juliet enjoy the fleeting rapture of courtship, marriage and sexual fulfilment; but a combination of old animosities and new coincidences brings them to suicidal deaths.
This play offers a rich mixture of romantic lyricism, bawdy comedy, intimate harmony and sudden violence. Long successful in the theatre, it has also generated numerous operas, ballets and films; and these have helped to make Romeo and Juliet perennially topical.
Biografia: William Shakespeare foi um poeta, dramaturgo e ator inglês, tido como o maior escritor do idioma inglês e considerado por muitos o maior dramaturgo da história. É chamado frequentemente de poeta nacional da Inglaterra e de "Bardo do Avon".
