Surely everyone has read this? It's what everyone thinks of when they think of Shakespeare. It's got love and violence and death and class wars. It's great to study and enjoy. Really!

Two teenagers fall madly in love (at least, I hope Romeo is a teenager, not sure..) and get themselves in a lot of trouble with stupid dramatics and killing people by accident (oops!) The adults around them aren't a lot more grown up than they are and go right along, causing even more drama.

Romeo and Juliet is supposed to be this epic love story, but I doubt it was meant to be viewed as that. The main characters are obviously completely ridiculous.
I listened to this as an audiobook and I was glad I did. It probably comes closer to the experience Shakespeare intended as opposed to reading it.
I enjoyed it. It was funny.

I love these old time stories. Romeo and Juliet is one of my favorites. Its one of those stories that everyone knows, but everyone sees differently.
