Although 'Romeo and Juliet' is one of the best loved of Shakespeare's plays, its story was a popular one long before this play was written, having been told before in Italian, French, and English. It is thought to be one of Shakespeare's earliest plays and was written while he was still almost a poet more than a playwright.
