Romeo & Juliet - The Prologue - The Introduction to the tale 

The Narrator begins to tell the story as if from an early 60's TV; The Tale of the Two families at daggers drawn, hate ruling all; then accidental love between the offspring of the two families CAPULET (Juliet) and MONTAGUE (Romeo), both only children. The Priest (played wonderfully by Pete Posthleswaite) takes up the narration and introduces the scene to us.
