Classics, both of them. Both plays, with decent actors--mesmerizing. ( )

The rating on this book applies to West Side Story; Romeo and Juliet is listed separately. ( )

Full scripts of both plays, plus some comparisons. ( )

Two of my favorite plays--I read them so many times my copy fell apart and is no longer in my physical library. Others of Shakespeare's plays have overtaken Romeo & Juliet in my estimation, but not in my heart. Likewise, Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead is a better play than West Side Story, but I can think of nothing better to give a young teen than this volume with the two plays side by side.

Romeo and Juliet: Two households both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
