The first act opens on the streets of Verona, Italy, where a vicious brawl breaks out between members of the warring clans of Montague and Capulet. The teenage scions of these two families fall in love and marry after a whirlwind courtship. Young love turns to tragedy as spontaneous emotion and fiery tempers lead to one untimely death after another. Shakespeare's unforgettable verse underscores the passion and drama of one of the bard's most famous tragedies.
