The play begins with a chorus, or narrator, speaking. The narrator gives us a bit of background information.
The narrator speaks of two noble households who reside in the town of Verona. Both households have an old feud going which is growing in intensity. The two households each have a child who are both destined to fall in love. Unfortunately their love also leads to their passing. In turn their passing leads to their parents ending their feud.
The narrator concludes by saying that “the traffic of our stage,” or the performance, will recall the tragic story of these two ill-fated young lovers. Additionally, the narrator asks for the audience to patiently watch as the actors try their best to perform the story.
