英国文艺复兴时期伟大的戏剧家和诗人莎士比亚创作的著名戏剧之一

诗意化的笔触刻画出爱恨相遇时的悲怆与无奈

讲述了两位青年男女相恋，却因家族仇恨而遭不幸，最后导致两家和好的故事

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的故事最初来源于1562年的一部意大利小说，1567年又被改写，而据说在1591年到1595年间，当时正值而立之年的莎士比亚对这个短篇故事进行了改写，终于在1597年，《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的故事正式出版，从此之后，这对年轻爱人的故事便以多种形式展现在世人面前，戏剧、歌舞剧、电影、动画等等。

故事讲述的是在一个名叫维罗纳的意大利小城里有两大家族——蒙太古家和凯普来特家，世代的恩怨导致了两家人之间的纷争不断。

来自两大家族的故事男女主人公罗密欧与朱丽叶在一次宴会中一见钟情，很快两人在神父的见证下举行了秘密婚礼。

不幸的是，在一次争斗中，迫于正义的呼唤，也为了替朋友报仇，罗密欧不得不拔剑杀死了朱丽叶的表哥提伯尔特，于是被驱逐出境。

最后两人为了在一起，朱丽叶先服假毒，醒来发现罗密欧以死殉情，也相继自尽。

罗密欧与朱丽叶的爱情虽然毁灭了，却因此赢得了两家人的悔悟，换来了两家人的世代和平。

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud.

In this death-filled setting, the movement from love at first sight to the lovers’ final union in death seems almost inevitable. And yet, this play set in an extraordinary world has become the quintessential story of young love. In part because of its exquisite language, it is easy to respond as if it were about all young lovers.

威廉·莎士比亚

(William Shakespeare，1564-1616)

欧洲文艺复兴时期最重要的作家，杰出的戏剧家和诗人，也是西方文艺史上杰出的作家之一，全世界卓越的文学家之一。他在欧洲文学史上占有特殊的地位，被喻为“人类文学奥林匹克山上的宙斯”。

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》选收莎士比亚具有代表性和普及性的五部悲剧：《罗密欧与朱丽叶》《哈姆莱特》《奥瑟罗》《李尔王》《麦克白》，浓缩了他的人生智慧和艺术才华。

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. 

When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. 

The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. 

Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
