In Verona the young Romeo, of the house of Montague, slips into a feast of the rival Capulets and falls in love with their daughter Juliet; they marry in secret the next day with the help of Friar Laurence. Within hours a street fight leaves Juliet's cousin Tybalt dead at Romeo's hand, Romeo is banished, Juliet's father insists that she marry Count Paris, and the friar's plan of a sleeping potion goes fatally wrong. The play turns from comedy to tragedy in five days.
William Shakespeare wrote it in the mid-1590s, and its balcony scene and star-crossed lovers have become part of the world's common stock of stories. Here a single reader, Becky Miller, voices every part, act by act, in about three hours.
