ROMEO & JULIET
ACT 1
Narrator 1 : 16 th
(sixteenth) century, two rich families live in Verona, the Capulets and the
Montagues.
They are enemies: they hate each other! And they often fight.
The Capulets
have one daughter, Juliet.
The Montagues have one son, Romeo.
Here the story begins...
We are in Verona, in a public square...
Tybalt : ...You know...the Montagues are all fools.
Sampson : Oh, you’re damn right Tybalt!
Anthony : Hey!!! Here they come, look!
(ENTER MERCUTIO + ABRAM + BALTHASAR)
Mercutio : Good morning, idiots!!!
Tybalt : Good morning to you fools...
Balthasar : What did you call us???
Abram : How dare you!
(THEY FIGHT.
ENTERS BENVOLIO)
Benvolio : STOP!!! STOP!!! Why do you always fight?
Mercutio : Because we don’t like each other – and because they are cowards!
Tybalt : You will be sorry for what you’ve said...you will pay for it!
(EXIT MERCUTIO, TYBALT, SAMPSON, BALTHASAR, ANTHONY.
ENTERS ROMEO, HE
TALKS TO BENVOLIO and ABRAM)
Romeo: A aahh!!!
Benvolio: What’s up Romeo?
Romeo : I am sad...
Abram : Why?
Romeo : I feel depressed...
I feel lonely...
Benvolio : Well, there’s a party tonight.
It’s at the Capulets’ palace.
Do you want to go?
Romeo : At the Capulets’ palace? They are our worst enemies: they will kill us if we go!
Abram : Don’t worry, we will wear masks, it’s a fancy dress party.
Benvolio : Oh, come on, Romeo!!!
Romeo : Well, I don’t know...
it can be dangerous...
OK, let’s go! But we must be very
careful, right!?
Benvolio : Everything will be fine
Abram: ...And we will have fun! (THEY EXIT).
