"Romeo and Juliet" is Shakespeare's first real tragedy and a masterpiece of lyrical theatre. The action unfolds at breakneck speed within a few days. The Montague and Capulet families are enemies. Resentment, intrigue and bloody conflicts determine their relationships. Romeo sees Juliet for the first time at the masked ball of his arch-enemies, the Capulets, and immediately falls in love with her. Juliet is also smitten. Forced into the conflict between their parents' homes, the couple's uncompromising love becomes an act of resistance and a lived revolt. However, Shakespeare lets his young protagonists die through two tragic misunderstandings.

Antoine's life could not be better. He is a successful businessman, has a media presence, and an attractive woman is at his side. Then he is surprised by an unannounced visitor from Africa: Antoine's former childhood sweetheart Maryse has broken off her humanitarian mission in Malawi and is returning to Paris. She reminds her ex-boyfriend that they got married on a whim in Las Vegas 25 years ago. She wants a divorce, but then she would be entitled to half of his assets. How can Antoine save his luxurious life? He moves into his housekeeper's apartment and plays the role of a welfare recipient. However, he underestimates Maryse's helper syndrome and catapults himself more and more into a seemingly hopeless situation.
