Synopsis
Loud, colourful, fast and frantic, this adaptation of Shakespeare's tale of star crossed lovers is about as far from traditional theatre as you could imagine. Played by Leonardo Di Caprio and Clare Danes, the young couple at the centre of the story must still overcome their families' bitter feuding in order to be together, but now they do so in violent Verona Beach, Florida, a place where swords have been replaced by guns, and where their soundtrack is blazing rock music.
