Prologue

Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

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;

Whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows

Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,

And the continuance of their parents’ rage,

Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;

The which if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Introduction Cards

There were once two families, both of them similarly respectable.

They lived in the beautiful city of Verona, where our story takes place.

They had been enemies for a long time and now trouble was breaking out again.

These families, who were civilians not soldiers, had spilt each other’s blood. Their hands were stained with the blood of one

another.

Into these families came two, oh so unlucky, lovers.

Their terrible misfortune caused their death and ended the arguments between their families.

The story of their love, which was to end in death and the story of their parent’s rage, which was only ended when their children

died, is the story which will now be told. It will take two hours to tell.

If you listen carefully and patiently to this story, anything that you have missed in this introduction, we will work to explain.

Romeo and Juliet – Part 2 - Version 1

When the Prince of Verona heard the news about Tybalt and Mercutio’s death he was

angry. He decided to banish Romeo, to ban him from ever being in Verona. This meant

that Romeo could not be with Juliet!

Romeo and Juliet hoped that perhaps Friar Laurence could explain and could get the

Prince to forgive Romeo.

But that day, Juliet’s father had news for her. He told her that she was to get married to a

man named Paris. Juliet was distressed. She ran to Friar Laurence.

Friar Laurence gave Juliet some potion, which made her look like she was dead. Her

family buried her in the family tomb.


Friar Laurence planned for Juliet to wake up and for Romeo to rescue her. He wrote a

letter to explain this to Romeo, but it got lost and so Romeo heard instead that Juliet was

dead.

Romeo went to Juliet’s tomb. He met Paris, the man her family had meant her to marry,

and Romeo killed him. He found Juliet’s body. She looked like she was dead. Romeo

drank poison and killed himself.

Then Juliet woke up and saw Romeo’s body. He was actually dead. She took his knife and

she killed herself.

When their families saw what had happened they were full of grief. They agreed not to

argue ever again.

JULIET: Now, by St Peter's Church and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride. I will not marry yet, and, when I do, I swear It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris. These are news indeed!

LADY CAPULET: Here comes your father: tell him so yourself, And see how he will take it at your hands.

Enter Lord Capulet

LORD CAPULET: How now, wife? Have you delivered to her our decree?

LADY CAPULET: Ay, sir, but she will none, she gives you thanks. I would the fool were married to her grave.

LORD CAPULET: Soft, take me with you, take me with you, wife. How, will she none? Doth she not give us thanks? Is she not proud? Doth she not count her blest, Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought So worthy a gentleman to be her bridegroom?
