Scene 1: The Capulets are hosting a magnificent celebration; a crowd of guests is dancing in the square near their home. The Montagues, who are the Capulets' enemies and rivals, were naturally not invited. Nevertheless, Mercutio and Benvolio try to persuade their friend Romeo, Lord Montague’s son, to put on a mask and sneak into the feast with them. Romeo agrees. In the course of the merriment and dancing, Romeo meets Juliet, who unmasks him. They instantly fall in love with each other.

Lady Capulet’s nephew, Tybalt, discovers the strangers at the celebrationand confronts Mercutio. Offended at Mercutio's sly insults, young men from both families begin brawling, and Mercutio is soon killed by Tybalt. In anger, Romeo confronts and accidentally kills Tybalt, who dies before the Capulets’ eyes.

The Capulets swear vendetta on the Montagues as Romeo escapes. Risking discovery, Romeo steals into Juliet's bedroom for a secret rendezvous.

Scene 2: Alone for the moment, the pair vow their love in a secret wedding ceremony. Suddenly, Juliet's nurse appears and warns that Juliet’s parents and Count Paris are coming. Her parents have chosen Paris as a suitor for their daughter. When Juliet tells her parents she doesn’t want to marry Paris, her father is outraged. He tells Juliet that she will marry Paris tomorrow and leaves.

Juliet is stricken with the news. She asks Friar Laurence to give her a hypnotic drug to make her appear to be dead, so she can run away with Romeo. Juliet takes the drug and falls into a deep sleep. Romeo, bursts into Juliet's bedroom and, not knowing anything of Juliet's plans, believes that she is dead.

Distraught, and unwilling to live without Juliet, Romeo poisons himself. He sees strange visions and then plunges into darkness. Waking up, Juliet sees her dead lover. Seeing that none of the poison is left, Juliet takes Romeo’s dagger and stabs herself, hoping to reunite with him in the next world.
