What do you already know about Romeo & Juliet?
I know the basics- there's a girl and a boy and they're in love but can't be together because of a family feud and end up killing themselves. Most of my knowledge of Romeo & Juliet actually comes from a book I read about a die hard Shakespeare fan. It made me question his sanity. Besides the fact that Romeo & Juliet is bound to be incredibly sappy, I've never read the book or seen a movie/play/adaptation that was made about it. I do know that it is the basis for a lot of modern romance novels.
What is your experience with Shakespeare? (mental, physical, emotional)
I read a biography about him so I know a lot about him. Also, I can't even count the amount of books I adore that mention him in some way or another. I've never seen one of his plays though and the only play I read was the required book last year (A Midsummer Night's Dream). However my knowledge on the person (or pseudonym that some historians believe 'he' is) himself is vast. I know that he advanced the english language to something ahead of his time and it's because of him that we have more ways to express one's self.
