Faced anew with “hate’s proceedings,” Prince Escalus concludes that the only way to marry the fortunes of these two families is to literally marry a Montague to a Capulet. Synopsis: “Despite the “glooming peace” that has settled on Verona following Romeo’s and Juliet’s tragic deaths, the ancient grudge between the Montagues and Capulets refuses to die: the two houses are brawling in the streets again within a fortnight. However, this post isn’t just that… You’ll see!Īge Group: Middle schoolers and up (I think adults especially would be into the story) It features Romeo’s first love, Rosaline, and other characters from the original play. It wasn’t written by Shakespeare and has nothing to do with the man himself except the fact that it continues his story in Verona. Mainly I am reviewing Still Star-Crossed, which is based on Romeo and Juliet. A lot of young people like me aren’t really interested in Shakespeare or his works, which has always saddened me as I have no friends to share in the joy of The Bard’s writings.

Most of all, out of all his plays, I love Romeo and Juliet. I love Shakespeare (don’t give me a weird look).
