    Romeo And Juliet is a story by Shakespeare originally published in 1597, it is a story about two lovers whose deaths end a family feud. The deaths of both of the teens are caused by not only the family feud but mostly the poor decisions of Friar Laurence in the story.

If he hadn’t made that decision so quickly, he might’ve realized that Juliet was to marry Paris.

For by your leaves, you shall not stay alone till the Holy Church incorporate two in one”.…

    The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story between two dynamic characters, who have a forbidden love. I chose to see the UWG Theatre Company’s production on Wednesday, November 18, in the Richard L. Dangle Theatre because I have loved the theatre and the stage since a young age. I also made a special effort to see Romeo and Juliet since I have seen numerous versions of the script both on the screen and on stage. I will say that the UWG Theatre Company’s production of the show was relevant, modern, and helped to bring Shakespeare to life. Many would say that Romeo and Juliet is outdated and irrelevant, but I believe that we can find relevancy in every one of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets- especially Romeo and Juliet.…
