Minimal set depicting four distinct areas: Verona's town square; the Capulet house, or a room in the house; Juliet's balcony; and Friar Lawrence's cell.
In the town of Verona, one unwritten law must be obeyed: there cannot be peace between the Capulets and the Montagues. And yet, star-crossed love springs from the rift between them, bringing disastrous results for the young lovers and their families. This abridged version of the beloved classic preserves the poetry of the original as it tells the tale of Juliet and her Romeo with speed and clarity; all of the language is Shakespeare's own.
