The BBC Television Shakespeare

1978 TV-14 2h 47m 6.6

Two teenagers fall in love, but their feuding families and fate itself cause the relationship to end in tragedy.

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-cross'd lovers take their life whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
