                                       Shakespeare's

                   about this book

                   One of the greatest love stories ever written, Romeo
                   and Juliet is a play that bears repeating and
                   revising for each generation.

                   The screenplay of the contemporary film of Romeo and
                   Juliet and the original classic version of the play are now
                   available in one book for readers to enjoy. The
                   screenplay is by Craig Pearce and Baz Luhrmann and the
                   book includes notes on William Shakespeare's play by
                   John Bettenbender. This major motion picture from
                   Twentieth Century Fox stars Leonardo DiCaprio and
                   Claire Danes.

                   The setting of the contemporary version is a modern city,
                   and the characters carry guns instead of swords. The
                   Montagues and the Capulets are gangsters who take their
                   feuding to the streets. At a masked ball Romeo Montague
                   meets and falls in love with Juliet Capulet, but, as in the
                   original play, their love is ill-fated. In addition to love,
                   violence and death play important parts in both versions.
                   Although the dialogue is briefer in the contemporary
                   version, the characters still speak the beautifully lyrical
                   words of Shakespeare.

                   Using William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet in the
                   Classroom

                   Even the most reluctant reader is drawn to the tragic love
                   story of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is often a
                   student's first experience with Shakespeare and is
                  ...
