In 1595, people could only know of the play if they had seen it at the theatre or if they were the actors in the company playing it. It had never been published; that would happen two years later. Since it was first published in 1597, many editors have gone through it, changing spellings and correcting what they think are errors. Sometimes they have censored it or have taken the censoring out.

Who directed Romeo and Juliet the two most recent times?

It is really impossible to answer this, since there are dozens of Romeo and Juliet productions on stages across the world right now. Which of them are the two most recent is constantly changing and is difficult to check up on. As of February 2011, the two most recent film versions of Romeo and Juliet (using the original dialogue) appear to be the filmed version of a performance at the new Globe Theatre, London, directed by Domenic Dromgoole (2010), and before that Romeo+Juliet (1996) directed by Baz Luhrmann and before that Romeo and Juliet (1994) directed by Alan Horrox. If you want the operatic version, the most recent is directed by Barbara Willis Sweete (2002), and if you want the ballet there is one from 2000 directed by Tina Protasoni. And if you are talking about spin-offs using the names of the lovers and the idea that they are from warring families and not much more you have such things as Romeo and Juliet (2000, dir: Colin Cox, in which the story is told from the perspective of Mercutio), Romeo and Juliet in Stanley Park (2009, dir: Olesia Shewchuk, in which Romeo and Juliet are lesbians), Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss (2006, dir: Phil Nibbelink, in which the lovers are cute animated seals and live happily ever after), and Romeo & Juliet vs. The Living Dead (2009, dir: Ryan Denmark in which Romeo is a zombie)
