Cast and Crew

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes cival hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life...

...The fearful passage of their death-marked love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, naught could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage.
