Trigger Warning: There are mentions of Self-harm and Suicide. You need to have read the original play of "Romeo and Juliet" to get the references about the dynamic between the characters, especially the one between the main couple. This episode discusses Halsey's contemporary retelling of Romeo and Juliet so let's dive into this new pop version of Shakespeare and enjoy!
