Romeo & Juliet - The Thames Shakespeare Collection ( 1976 )

Shakespeare’s ageless tale of family feuds, star-crossed lovers and tragic, untimely death is vividly captured in this memorable production of Romeo & Juliet.

In the gentle streets of fair Verona, a clash of servants between the warring Montagues and Capulets sets the wheels of fate in motion. At a masked ball, the lovelorn Romeo spies the beautiful Juliet and the two soon fall madly in love, only to feel despair once their true identities are revealed. Matters worsen when Romeo slays Tybalt, a nephew of the Capulets and is banished from the city. Only the intervention of a loyal friar and nurse can right the course of true love. But will it be in this life or the next?

Produced by Britain’s distinguished Thames Television, this moving interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet features a sparkling, youthful cast, authentic sets and colorful costumes that bring you straight into the heart of the world’s favorite love story.
