The star-crossed lovers' torment is laid bare in the final moments of Shakespeare's romantic masterpiece.

In spite of the hatred of their long-feuding families, Romeo and Juliet fall instantly in love. To escape their parents’ anger they decide to elope, but, when a message is fatally left undelivered, tragedy strikes, uniting both families in woe.

Filmed in Juliet's tomb in Verona, Italy, this short film of the death scene starring Jessie Buckley and Luke Thompson was first seen as part of Shakespeare's Globe's The Complete Walk over one magical weekend alongside London's Thames in April 2016 in this anniversary year. Some 37 specially-made 10 minute films were screened along the iconic 2.5 mile stretch between Westminster Bridge and Tower Bridge.

Each film explores one of The Bard's plays and includes scenes shot in the locations Shakespeare imagined when he wrote them. Picture Cleopatra in front of the Pyramids, Shylock in Venice’s former Jewish Ghetto, Hamlet on the rocks of Elsinore.

Featuring a host of the world’s greatest actors, The Complete Walk celebrates Shakespeare’s life, work and legacy, exactly 400 years on from his death.
