The story of frustrated young (illegally young in modern terms) love and death and the vendetta between two families in a tight-knit Italian community. One of Shakespeare's most popular and enduring dramas it has also been re-done as film, ballet, musical (most notably "West Side Story") and ice spectacular! Jew, Muslim; Catholic, Protestant; black, white - it is a plea for us to be united in our difference. For where love is forbidden, tragedy will follow. A Sikh boy and a Hindu girl die in a suicide pact. A young Muslim girl is dragged back to India to marry a man she has never met. A pair of sixteen year olds from Yorkshire run away together, fearing their parents’ disapproval. A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life. This is Britain 2000. Who is to blame? The gold statues erected by their parents to the memory of Romeo and Juliet will not atone. Only a sea change in society.
