And here's a summary:

Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's famous tragedy of two "star-crossed lovers" from rival houses. Romeo and Juliet meet at a party and fall instantly in love, realizing too late that their families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are mortal enemies. Braving parental opposition, the teenage lovers marry in secret, with the aid of the well-intentioned Friar Lawrence. Yet, as Shakespeare has often observed, the course of true love does not run smoothly, and Romeo and Juliet must risk death to be together.

Hooray, all finished!

AaronW and I are not listed in the MW, so R&J doesn't appear on our catalog pages. Not sure if you and Elizabeth are finished populating the box though.

I've added you both to Act 4.
