Exeunt is the plural of exit. It means "they go out."
Exeunt
"Exit" is Latin for "he leaves". "Exeunt" is Latin for "they leave". It's used when a whole bunch of people are leaving the stage at the same time.
The stage direction in Q2 says "Exeunt Manet". Folio just has "Exeunt" Q1 has the interesting stage direction "They all but the Nurse go forth, casting rosemary on her and shutting the curtens." This probably reflected the particular way it was staged in a production of Shakespeare's day. Juliet would have taken the potion on her bed in the concealment space. When she is discovered, the family members strew her with rosemary (which they happen to have lying around just then) and close the curtains to the concealment space. The theory is that Q1 is taken from an actual performance, and so this is how they did it in the particular performance that was seen. It does not mean that it was done this way in every performance.
The stage without the stage directions is nothing!
well,for me a play without a stage direction will become nonsense :]

Exeunt
Not sure what you're after. 'Exeunt' is a Latin verb form. It means 'They go out'. It's essentially the plural form of 'Exit' - that means he/she goes out. It's not common, but it does show up in plays as instructions to the actors - 'Exeunt stage left' - That tells those on stage to leave the stage to its left.
It is called an exit. Plural (multiple actors leave) is exeunt.

Stage directions are instructions in the script that indicate how the actors should move and behave on stage. For example: "Enter SAMPSON and GREGORY, with swords and bucklers" - This stage direction from Act 1, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet tells the actors to enter the stage with swords and shields. "They fight" - This direction tells the actors to engage in a fight scene. "Exeunt all but BENVOLIO and MONTAGUE" - This tells the actors to exit the stage, leaving only Benvolio and Montague present.
The difference between exit and exeunt is a matter of quantityExit is used where only one person is going out of the stage at that momentIt is the opposite of entrance which can be used for both words. In a sense it means that entrance can be used where more than one person is entering the stage or only one person. Eg Romeo exits the stageExeunt on the other hand is the plural of exit (in Shakespearean time means "they are leaving")It was used to signify the exit of more than one person or everyone from the stage instead of saying eg Romeo exits the stage, Juliet exits the stage, John exits the stage, Victor exits the stage. All of this can all be said by simply saying "EXEUNT"
