Dit is het verhaal van een stad, twee families en twee geliefden, Romeo en Julia. Het verhaal is al heel oud en door allerlei mensen in verschillende landen en verschillende talen verteld. Sommigen hebben er een gedicht van gemaakt en anderen een prozaverhaal. Maar het is onder andere ook bewerkt in de vorm van liederen, een balletuitvoering en films. In London bracht William Shakespeare dit verhaal tot leven de jaren negentig van de zestiende eeuw.
