                    [Summary] => 



Of William Shakespeare’s tragedies, none has attracted as much attention and discussion as Romeo and Juliet. This tale of star-crossed lovers from feuding families has inspired countless generations of lovers and artists since it was first performed in 17th century England. The list of adaptations of Shakespeare’s original is long, and includes dramas, operas, ballets and songs. There are also a number of movie adaptations of the original play, as well as films that were inspired by its story.
