One of Shakespeare`s most popular and enduring plays, this timeless story of love, vengeance, and tragedy still resonates with audiences of all ages.
In the Italian city-state of Verona, a blood feud is raging between the powerful Montague and Capulet families.
Fuelled by an ancient hatred and fanned by the hot days of summer, the centuries-old quarrel between the two clans refuses to stay contained.
Open battles erupt on the streets while the authorities struggle to clamp down on the deadly violence.
