Two of my favorite plays--I read them so many times my copy fell apart and is no longer in my physical library. Others of Shakespeare's plays have overtaken Romeo & Juliet in my estimation, but not in my heart. Likewise, Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead is a better play than West Side

Story, but I can think of nothing better to give a young teen than this volume with the two plays side by side.

The rating on this book applies to West Side Story; Romeo and Juliet is listed separately.
LibraryThing member MerryMary
Full scripts of both plays, plus some comparisons.

Classics, both of them. Both plays, with decent actors--mesmerizing.
