About This Book "Long before Shakespeare’s tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” appeared, there were a lot of plays written based on this popular plot - one of the plays even had a happy ending. But only the story of the beloved couple from Verona, told and retold by the great Shakespeare for six centuries already, still remains unrivalled. Half a hundred of movies, operas, ballets, musicals, thousands of theatre performances, translations.
Our edition is created by two significant masters of the modern Ukrainian cultural scene - the writer Yuri Andrukhovych and the illustrator Vladyslav Yerko. Their version of “ Romeo and Juliet ” is a lucky chance to live through this everlasting work in a brand new way, to acutely feel its eternal relevance and modernity“. A-ba-ba-ha-la-ma-ha
