Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare is the classic, yet tragic tale of two young lovers from feuding families. In 1880 deep in the Appalachian Mountains, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall deeply in love and secretly marry. Facilitated by a man of god, the lovers experience a fate marked with wild passion and devastating loss. The world of both families are rocked by the long grudge held by generations new and old. In the end, the couple’s love brings the family together only after their tragic end.
