THE CAPULETS AND THE MONTAGUES is Dakin Matthews’ new rhyming verse translation of Lope de Vega’s play Castelvines y Monteses (c. 1609). Based on the same source material Shakespeare used for his Romeo and Juliet, Lope brings the audience on a different journey in his tale of the famous star-crossed lovers.
