Adaptations of the play


"Romeo and Juliet" is a timeless play. It exploits such universal themes that nowadays it continues being performed everywhere.

Besides, many adaptations have been made of this play, not just in cinema (the film we are watching in class is an example, but before this version many more had already been made, including the fantastic musical "West Side Story"), but also in music (famous bands have written songs which talk about these two characters, like "Dire Straits" or "The Killers").

As usual, I leave some links so you can read more about adaptations and I'll try to post a video clip of the song by the previously mentioned bands to see what you think.

Estaba pensando que también se puede relacionar "Romeo y Julieta" con "Bodas de sangre", de García Lorca. Los Félix contra la familia de Leonardo, Los Montescos y Los Capuletos.Historia de amor imposible con final trágico para los amantes. La llevamos como lectura en 4º ESO. Daré vueltas a la idea.Saludos.
