The contemporary film, the classic play.
The screenplay for the film and Shakespeare's classic tragedy together in one volume with an introduction by Baz Luhrmann.
Award-winning director Baz Luhrmann ('Strictly Ballroom') has updated Shakespeare's classic tragedy of young love and teen suicide in a unique new film, in which the warring Capulets and Montagues are gangsters who carry guns instead of swords. The film is set in a modern city. The actors speak Shakespeare's words - but with their own American accents.
Readers can now experience this new vision of Shakespeare's violent, tragic play alongside the Bard's original text, in a special single volume that features an introduction by the film's director.
