Romeo and Juliet is the most treasured and enduring of all love stories. Staged and screened in countless variations since its debut in the Tudor London of the 1590s, Shakespeare's first tragedy continues to transcend all the countless interpretations made of it over centuries of performances good and bad, dry academic deconstruction and censure of its candid sexuality. However often, and however well readers might have seen the play acted or adapted, all can expect to come to a fresh appreciation of this great masterpiece through the beautiful poetry of its original words, and the immortal nature of its theme.
