Performed all over the world, and constantly adapted and reinterpreted in a variety of mediums, Shakespeare’s 1597 tale about the doomed “star-crossed lovers” from enemy families whose tumultuous affair ends in tragedy is one of his best known and most beloved plays. The story of the feuding Montague and Capulet families features the famous balcony scene where the lovers first realize their mutual affection, setting off a series of duels, secret plots, and misunderstandings that eventually leads to one of the most tragic death scenes in all of theater.

William Shakespeare is universally considered the greatest writer in the English language. Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway with whom he had three children. A poet and dramatist, he produced a dizzying number of works in his lifetime. The sparse details of his private life have fueled much scholarly speculation about whether he truly wrote all of the works credited to him, which has done little to tarnish his reputation as the most gifted writer in western history.
