William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet

Storyhouse presents Moonlight Flicks at Rooftop Social Club!

Baz Lurhman’s romantic crime adaptation of William Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy. Against the urban backdrop of Verona Beach, California, the Montague and Capulet families are embroiled in a long-running feud. When Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio), a Montague, attends a Capulet ball in disguise, he falls in love with the beautiful Juliet (Claire Danes). Although already engaged to Dave Paris (Paul Rudd), whom she does not love, Juliet vows to marry Romeo. They ask the kindly Father Laurence (Pete Postlethwaite) to perform the ceremony in secret, but bloodshed and tragedy threaten the couple’s future together.
