Romeo and Juliet: the Original Play Alongside a Modern English Translation

Our Shakescleare translations will help you and your students understand every line of Romeo and Juliet, while also saving you time and serving as a foundation for all sorts of lessons.

Every Shakescleare translation includes the following features:

Shakespeare's original text
The complete original text so you and your students don't need to buy a book version.

A complete line-by-line translation
A modern English translation of every line alongside the original, so you and your students can instantly understand every nuance of Shakespeare's language and avoid the headache of dealing with tiny footnotes and inconvenient endnotes found in conventional editions.

Helpful annotations in context
Dozens of annotations throughout the play directly next to the text they explain, making it easy to understand secondary meanings, word play, and historical context when the translation alone does not suffice.

PDF format
Beautiful sleek design and PDF format make our translations simple to open and read on any device, and just as easy to print and distribute to students.

Easy to print and distribute
Printer-friendly formatting makes it easy to print out a scene, an act, or an entire play and share it with your students in class.
