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 misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.– William Shakespeare

Where Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy ends, an even bigger story begins: Verona is burning in the first trailer for Shonda Rhimes’ ABC drama Still Star-Crossed, a project that picks up where William Shakespeare’s story left off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate.
The story centers on Rosaline (Lashana Lynch), a gorgeous, intelligent and headstrong Capulet and Juliet’s cousin, who is ordered to marry Benvolio (Wade Briggs), a Montague.
Co-starring are
Anthony Head and
as
Lord and Lady Capulet,
Torrance Coombs as Count Paris,
Sterling Sulieman as Prince Escalus, and Grant Bowler as Lord Montague.
Based on a book by Melinda Taub of the same name!
