Does anyone know what year Romeo and Juliet takes place? and where?

Well. It takes place in Verona, but when I don't know. However, the prologue is written in pressent tence, and Shakespeare probably wrote it in 1594 or 1595, so that's a guess.

[Queen Mab]

The actual play takes place in the fourteenth century. I'm not sure of the specific date
