Synopsis
The streets of Verona are dangerous due to the ancient strife between the Capulets and the Montagues. From this enmity grows an innocent, pure love between two young people that can solve the rift between the two households. Shakespeare’s great play is a story of love, friendship, detestation, family, and what happens when we don’t listen to our youth and hold onto our differences.
