The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is one of William Shakespeare’s most popular works. It has been performed, retold and parodied countless times. Even someone who can’t stand the Bard is very familiar with the tale. And, if for some reason you’re not, there’s a handy summary –complete with hints and spoilers –at the beginning of the play. It goes something like this. The offspring of two warring families find themselves deeply in love, but the animosity between their families means things aren’t going to turn out well. It is a tale of love, swordplay, vengeance, confusing dialogue, and it was recently produced by the Laguna Playhouse Youth Theatre.
