Beginning with the cast of characters and the opening prologue which establishes the setting in Verona and introduces the themes of ancient family hatred and star-crossed lovers. The scenes detail the escalating violence between the Montagues and Capulets, including the fatal duel where Tybalt kills Mercutio, leading to Romeo killing Tybalt and subsequently being banished by the Prince. The source then covers the immediate aftermath of the banishment, Juliet's forced impending marriage to Paris, and the Friar Laurence’s plan to save her by giving her a sleeping potion, which Romeo tragically misunderstands as her actual death, resulting in his and Juliet's suicides in the Capulet vault, culminating in the final reconciliation of the two feuding families.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Romeo-Juliet-Folger-Shakespeare-Library/dp/0743477111?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=d3d7220993597ab47974949562591456&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
