'Romeo und Julia' ist eine Tragödie, neben 'Hamlet' die bekannteste und beliebteste, die Shakespeare je geschrieben hat. Romeo und Julia, die tragisch Verliebten, gehören zwei verfeindeten Familien an, den Montagues und Capulets, die verhindern, dass sie ihre Liebe offen leben. Heimlich lassen sie sich trauen. Um der vom Vater geplanten Hochzeit mit einem Dritten zu entgehen, trinkt Julia einen Betäubungstrank, der sie für vierzig Stunden in einen todesähnlichen Schlaf versetzt. Doch Romeo kommt zu spät. Wie tot liegt Julia vor ihm und aus Verzweiflung trinkt er Gift. Wenige Augenblicke später erwacht sie und erblickt das Unglück. Mit seinem Dolch folgt sie ihm nach.
