Juliet asks Friar Lawrence to get her out of this difficult situation, so that she can see her beloved Romeo again. Of course, they do not know that she has already secretly married Romeo. When Juliet says that she doesn’t want to, her parents are very angry with her, and her mother says she will never speak to her again. Meanwhile, the Capulets decide that Juliet must marry Count Paris immediately. Romeo is sent away from Verona but Friar Lawrence, the priest who organised the secret wedding between Romeo and Juliet, arranges for them to spend one night together as husband and wife. Romeo runs after Tybalt in anger and kills him. When Romeo steps in to break up the fight between the two men, his best friend is accidentally killed. He starts a fight with Romeo’s best friend. Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, gets angry very easily. The next day, they go to a priest called Friar Lawrence, who marries them in secret. They realise that they are perfect for each other, and decide to get married. Romeo hides in the garden, and talks to Juliet when she appears on her balcony. However, Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, recognises Romeo, knows he is from the Montague family – and wants to kill him. That night, at the party, Romeo meets Juliet, and they fall in love at first sight.

But they agree that they must go in disguise because if they are recognised at the party by the Capulets, they might be killed. Romeo and his friends decide that it would be exciting to go to the Capulets’ party too. Romeo is the son of the Montague family, and is also about 14. Juliet is nearly 14, and her parents are keen for her to marry soon. One of these families, the Capulets, organises a big party so that they can introduce their daughter Juliet to a rich nobleman, Count Paris, who has asked to marry her. Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, hate each other so much that they fight on the street whenever they meet. The story of Romeo and Juliet takes place in Verona in Italy.
