Romeo and Juliet (The BBC Shakespeare Collection) (1978) |
<<back |
|
|
 |
A marvellously staged adaptation of Shakespeare's classic story of tender but tragically doomed love. The rich and colourful production successfully combines the resonance and immediacy of theatre with the flexibility and realism of film. The star cast perform with great energy and artistry, and the superb sets give the play a remarkable sense of space and perspective.
Romeo, heir to the lordly Montague family of the Italian city of Verona, attends a masked dance held by the Capulets, their bitter rivals in the city. There, Romeo falls in love with Juliet Capulet. Secretly married by the obliging Friar Lawrence, the couple have only their love with which to confront the violence of the ancient warring factions.
