"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.

Three physics experts live together in a psychiatric hospital. One claims to be Albert Einstein, the other thinks he is Sir Isaac Newton. Finally, the third, Johann Wilhelm Möbius, has a mental image of King Solomon. All three are playing a crazy game of hide-and-seek and surveillance. Möbius has left his wife and children and voluntarily placed himself in isolation. The reason: he has discovered the "world formula" which he does not want to pass on because it could lead to the extinction of humanity. The other two men are also faking their illness. In reality, they are secret agents of competing superpowers, sent after Möbius in order to seize the knowledge advantage that will secure world domination. What none of them knows is that the psychiatrist has her own plans...
