"Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona (where we lay our scene) From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their lives"

So begins Shakespeare's beloved play "ROMEO & JULIET" which is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. These famous lines and the vivid language of this cautionary tale drive director Baz Luhrmann's cinematic interpretation, "WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO & JULIET." Welcome to Verona Beach, a sexy, violent other-world, neither future nor past, ruled by two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Wealthy, selfish, ruthless and powerful, the parents share an enmity that has become the birthright of their offspring.
