Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, written in 1595. Set in Verona, two families at war. The house of Capulet and the house of Montague. Out of all this hate sprung a love between Romeo (Montague) and Juliet (Capulet). The two met at a party in Juliet's house. It was love at first sight. Besides their families dispute they are soon married without the knowledge of their parents. Juliet's cousin Tybalt kills Romeo's Best friend Mercutio. Out of range and revenge Romeo kills Juliet's cousin: Tybalt. Therefore he gets banished from Verona. Lord Capulet then tells Juliet that he has planned to marry her off to Paris, who is a noble prince. Juliet is devastated by the news and tries to commit suicide. The Fryer talks her out of it suggesting a plan to pretend that she is dead so that she doesn't have to marry Paris and can elope with Romeo. Unfortunately it all goes wrong leaving both families in distraught leading them to reconcile. The audience knew that it would end as one or both of them loosing their lives. It was an expected tragedy. In Shakespeare's day it was ordinary for people to get married off at young ages as most people died young. Therefore it was not a big deal for the audience to see the scene were Juliet's father plans to marry her off to Paris. The audience always had an idea of what was going and happening in the play. As a director I would set the play in a modern age at the hart of Detroit. Two rival gangs Bloodset (Montague) Kripset (Capulet). The characters would dress and talk more modern. The scene would be set in a town house modern way so that it can catch a younger audience. The scene I will be directing is act 3 scene 5. The scene starts when the newly wed couple: Romeo and Juliet wake up besides each other. The night before Tybalt: Juliet's cousin killed Mercutio: Romeos best friend. This Lead to Romeo killing Tybalt. The consequences for his actions were that he got banished from the walls of Verona. The nurse walks into Juliet's bedroom were her and Romeo are, alerting them that Lady Capulet: Juliet's mother was coming. With just one kiss from Juliet Romeo then exits from the window. Scarcely had Romeo just left when Lady Capulet enters informing Juliet about her father's plans to marry her off to a noble young man known as Paris. Juliet does not take the news very well. Knowing that she is married she dares to challenge her father. He father then gets really aggressive and tells her that he can give to his friends if he wishes to, and that if she does not go through with the wedding he would kick her out into the streets. He then walks out leaving her feeling devastated. The nurse then advises Juliet to do as she is told. Juliet then leaves to go see the fryer. In his presence is where she tried to commit suicide. The fryer convinced her not to by telling her, his plan that would stop her from getting married to Paris and instead to be with Romeo. ROMEO: in this scene, Romeo only appears in the beginning for a short while. He plays a role where they have to leave before they get caught. Therefore the actor should act as though he was in a hurry. He should also appear to look sad for having to leave. He could show this in his speech. NURSE: The nurse, like Romeo does not have a big part in this scene. The nurse should act surprised to see Romeo when she walks into Juliet's bedroom. When she says 'madam' to Juliet, she should shout it out. This should show Juliet the importance of the news she brings. Also when telling Juliet she should speak in a tone that shows the audience that if Juliet doesn't listen to her, there will consequences after. LADY CAPULET:When lady Capulet walks into Juliet's room, the actor needs to act happy as thinks she's delivering good news. She also needs to act surprised and comforting when Juliet informs her that she is ill. When she is speaking about Tybalt's death the actor should talk with a lot of emotion and contempt for Romeo. The actor should look excited and happy for Juliet when she tells her that she is getting married off. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, written in 1595.

It would still be pretty and smell wonderful, making a name just that....a name.

They consummate their marriage between Act 3 scene 3 and Act 3 Scene 5, when we see them on the morning after their wedding night.
