The Setting

What is the setting of Romeo and Juliet?

The setting

The time and the place. The environment.

The play

• Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare in around 1595.
• He took inspiration from a number of stories about the lovers which were around 1500s, although he changed some of the details to create his own version.
• The play would have been performed in a theatre which was open to the sky, with seats for wealthy and poor people, so it was very popular to visit the theatre.
• All of the actors in the play (including Juliet) were men, women were not allowed to perform. 
• Romeo and Juliet is a great source of inspiration for artists all over the world (films, books, dance, arts)
