The story of Romeo and Juliet was already well-known to the Elizabethan audience: it had featured in a best-selling verse novel by Arthur Brookes', Romeus and Juliet, which was at its height of popularity when Shakespeare was a little boy.
The play is set in Verona (a real place, but not somewhere Elizabethans would have been likely to visit) in an unspecified time in the past.
Like almost all of Shakespeare's plays (except the English histories) Romeo and Juliet is set long, long ago, in a land far, far away.
