How can you adapt the Romeo and Juliet play to be more modern times?

Answer by  barky (98)

Well, the essence of the play "Romeo and Juliet" is about tragic love, or the love of two people amongst the feuds of their family. Think about it in that respect and it leaves a wide array of creativity. You can use the element of rival gangs, feuding families with wealth and status, or even cultural differences. Think about it.

You can change the setting so that it fits a more modern dilemma. You can change the gender roles a bit to reflect the struggles that women and men are now facing in a different world.
