IMDb Summary



  A long-simmering animosity between two families of Verona, the Montague's and the Capulet's, has recently boiled over, with members of the rival households brawling in the streets. One night, Romeo, a Montague, crashes a party given by the Capulet's in order to meet up with a young woman called Rosaline, with whom he is infatuated. Thoughts of her vanish from his mind, however, when he catches sight of Juliet, daughter of the head of the Capulet household. Juliet is equally smitten with Romeo, but her father already has other plans for her.

My notes



 As noted  this was one of the streaming medai fund raisers.  It is

presented in its entirely in one file.  Two  subtitle files ares included separately.  A Subtitle methods file is included.  It briefly explains how to use the subtitle file in this folder to get more languages and use those as text for others to enjoy.



 I was slow to come to this production.  But it has enough stage business and fine performances sprinkled through the play and in unexpected places for renewed interest.  This all makes for fine theatre viewing in a play that is very familiar for new viewers and those who have seen it many times.
