I am guessing you are talking about Romeo + Juliet (1996) that was written by Craig Pearce and Baz Luhrmann based on the play written by William Shakespeare. Still, the screenplay used much of Shakespeare's original lines.

∙ 6y agoThere are no cast lists from any sixteenth-century productions of the play, but since it was a Shakespeare play and therefore belonged to the Lord Chamberlain's Men we can guess. We actually do not have to guess about who played the part of Peter, since the Quarto version tells us that this part was played by Will Kempe, the famous comedian and dancer. Richard Burbage was the star actor and therefore probably played Romeo. Shakespeare was known for his "kingly roles" (his bald head made him look older) and so may have played Escalus. His friends and contemporaries Heminges and Condell may have played Benvolio, Tybalt, Mercutio or Paris. Thomas Pope and Augustine Phillips, older actors, may have played the nurse and Capulet. Unfortunately we don't know the name of the boy who first played Juliet.
