Description
Two teenagers from feuding families meet at a ball and fall so completely in love that they choose death together over a world that forbids their union, forcing every generation to reckon with whether passion justifies such tragedy. Shakespeare's prototype for romantic love distills the ecstatic rush and devastating speed of adolescent desire into language so perfect that it still defines how we speak about love.
