Hence its title, "The Tragedy..." thereof. People's cultural literary is so shallow these days they think 'tragedy' just means 'oh it's sad that they can't be together'.

R&J is the only Shakespeare I've seen performed live on stage. It was honestly mesmerising. The version was 'modernised' in that the narrator was a news reporter & the dance scene was a disco.... the most shocking thing was the fight scene where a gun was drawn and one of the cast shot dead. The whole theatre JUMPED at that point - despite a large banner warning about LOUD noises! The language was still pure Shakespeare though.... Brilliant!

Juliet was apparently 13, Romeo was 16/17.
