Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's most famous tragedy and one of the greatest love stories ever written. Set in the Italian city of Verona, it follows two young people — Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet — whose families are locked in a bitter, ancient feud. They meet, fall instantly and passionately in love, and secretly marry. But fate, family hatred, and a series of terrible misunderstandings conspire to destroy them both. Written around 1597, the play has never been out of performance and gave the world some of its most quoted lines — "What's in a name?", "A plague on both your houses", "Parting is such sweet sorrow." It is a masterclass in character, language, and the tragedy of lives cut short by forces beyond their control.
