Romeo and Juliet
The greatest tragedy of the 16th century… brought into your living room!
Premiering on BBC as a part of their Sunday-Night Theatre program, this 1955 adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play closely follows the original text. The Montagues and Capulets, two families of Renaissance Italy, have hated each other for years, but the son of one family and the daughter of the other fall desperately in love and secretly marry.
Directed by Harold Clayton · Written by Dallas Bower
