Romeo and Juliet @ Avenham Park Preston

Romeo and Juliet is perform here regularly for £4 during the Preston Guild Celebration week. I cycled down to have a look around Preston's Parks as the ready themselves for further celebrations.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of playwright William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately unite their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
