"Two households, both alike in dignity,In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,"With these first lines, Shakespeares timeless play of young love and untimely death begins; as in life, it is sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, always poignantly beautiful. While our emotions are moved by the imagery and rhythms of Shakespeares verse, our minds are delighted by the sharpness of his insights into life, death, and the human condition.Written in the mid-1590s, the play is regarded as one of the Bards earliest masterpieces.
