Alvin Rakoff – Romeo & Juliet (1978)

In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare’s plays for television. The resulting productions, renowed for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought great performances from leading contemporary actors.

Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.
