Love at first sight, steamy confessions, covert weddings… it’s practically a fairy tale. ![]() To some, this statement may sound drab and obvious… next, they just might say, I will write about how Gatsby was not so great, or how “Animal Farm” was never REALLY about animals. Yet, labeling “Romeo and Juliet” as a “love story” always felt odd. This story is as interwoven in our cultural grasp of romance as “Sherlock Holmes” is with our understanding of mystery, or the “Ice Age” series is with our understanding of in-flight entertainment. Quite honestly, it’s difficult to avoid - there’s the original play, the stage musical, an adaptation with feuding caterers, the anime in which Romeo and Juliet work to take down a tyrannical government, a retelling with gnomes… basically, “Romeo and Juliet” is everywhere. With that scandalous title out of the way, I assume, dear reader, that you are not unacquainted with Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.
