"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.
