He wrote it in about 1595, which makes the play about 400 years old.
Romeo's old girlfriend Rosaline is mentioned in the beginning of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," but she does not play a significant role in the story. Romeo quickly forgets about her when he meets Juliet and falls in love with her instead.

It is inaccurate to Shakespeare's play because the ending scene where romeo dies in inaccurate and the setting is in a morder time era in Los angelies where as Shakespeare's is in old days
very little was known about shakespeare, he never really was social or showed, talked about his works, its very unclear what age he had written the play.AnswerSince Shakespeare's play were not published until later, it is hard to determine exactly when he wrote some of them. Romeo & Juliet was written somewhere between 1591 and 1595, which would have made Shakespeare somewhere between the ages of 27 and 31.
Juliet is 13; it's not clear how old Romeo is.
There is one, at least. Juliet in Romeo and Juliet is a little more than two weeks shy of fourteen.
As Gounod's (and others') Romeo and Juliet is based on Shakespeare's play, and in the play, Juliet is not quite fourteen years old (though Romeo's age is not stated specifically), Roméo et Juliette might qualify.
Romeo is 14 and Juliet is 13.
