Were modern-day, diff gangs?? What if R & J Were modern-day, diff gangs??

Two households…

Both alike in dignity…

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene…

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny…

makes civil hands unclean. Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,

A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life.
