Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic play written by a younger William Shakespeare. This specific

play is about two young lovers whose death unified two malicious families. The best

information regarding the date of Romeo and Juliet comes from the title page of the first

Quarto. That implies hath been often (with great applause) plaid publicly, by the right

Honourable the L. of Hunsdon his servants." This certification would indicate that the play

was composed no later than 1596, because Hunsdon's acting crew went by a different

name after this date.
