The noble Veronese house of Montague and Capulet are locked in a bitter feud. When Romeo, a Montague and Juliet, a Capulet, fall in love they are swept up in a series of violent events and cruel twists of fortune.

Despite the passion and innocence of their love, they fall victim to the enmity between their families, and their story ends in tragedy.

In this production, Romeo is played by Joseph Fiennes and Juliet by Maria Miles. Elizabeth Spriggs is the Nurse.

The Arkangel Complete Shakespeare is one of the most ambitious undertakings in recent recording history. All thirty-eight of Shakespeare's plays, uncut, fully-dramatized and accompanied by original music, are brought to life by the voices of many of the most distinguished actors presently performing in British Film and Theater.
