Romeo and Juliet

Is the story told in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet authentic? Despite the plausible historical background, the answer to this question is impossible to establish. Two noble Veronese families – the Montagues and the Capulets – are in a long irreconcilable conflict with each other. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulets, destined for hatred, fall in love with each other at a ball. The insurmountable obstacles lie ahead of them. Illustrated by Elena Odarych.
