Romeo+and+Juliet

Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare is the most important writing in the history of the English language. That's a bold statement, but his 38 plays, hundreds of sonnets, and countless contributions to our everyday language four hundred years after his death are the proof in the pudding--as they say. Romeo and Juliet (first performed in 1595) is one of the most famous love stories ever told. Here in English 9, we'll be the judge of that!
