Secretaries of Juliet, The
- Synopsis
- Radio broadcast. Every year, 10,000 lovelorn people write to Juliet, Shakespeare’s great romantic heroine. Some leave their letters in a postbox at the "House of Juliet", a museum in Verona. Others simply address them to "Juliet, Verona, Italy". Someone has to answer those letters, and the task falls to a committee of a dozen local women who style themselves "The Secretaries of Juliet". Presented by Jolyon Jenkins in Verona.
