“Do with their death bury their presents’ strife.” Act 9 Prologue

After the death of Romeo & Juliet, the Montague and Capulet families decide to hold a party to honor their children and usher in anew era of friendship. Everyone in the class will be responsible for planning a part of the celebration to be held on Thursday, January 26. Your ticket to the party is your creative mask.

You may think that this party will take place in Palos Verdes, 2017. Actually, the clocks will turn back on this day, and it will become 15th century Verona, Italy. That means that you and your group must do some research before you plan your party.
