the house and Lady Capulet with him)

Romeo, a son of Montague was
falling in love with Rosaline, Juliet’s Cousin.

for Rosaline but accidentally he saw Juliet and falling in love with her at the
first sight. (Music Consolation: Lizt)

I have to go!

Who is that beautiful princess?

I’m Romeo, a Montague (Romeo’s leaving)

Madam, he is a Montague our foe!

What??? But, I’m falling in
love with him, my nurse! Love at the first sight!!!
Scene 3
(In the Juliet’s balcony)
After the party, both Romeo and Juliet kept
thinking each other.
Music: Song “I want
to spend my life time loving you” by Marc Anthony feat Tina Arena
Romeo (sing) : Moon so
bright, night so fine,
Keep your heart here with mine
Life’s a dream we are
dreaming
Juliet (sing) : Race the
moon, catch the wind,
Ride the night to the end,
Seize the day, stand up for the light
Ro & Ju (sing) : I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
Romeo (sing) :
Heroes rise, heroes fall,
Rise again, wins it all,
Juliet (sing) : In your
heart, can’t you feel the glory?
Through our joy, through our pain,
Juliet (sing) : Moon
so bright, night so fine,
Keep your heart here with mine
Life’s a dream we are dreaming
Ro &
Ju (sing) : We can move
worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me (dance with me)
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through If I can spend my lifetime loving you Though we know we will never come again Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again
Save the night, save the day,
Save the love, come what may,
Love is worth everything we pay
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing
else to see me through If
I can spend my lifetime loving you
(Nurse’s shouting “Juliet...Juliet...Juliet”)
Juliet :
Romeo, I have to go now!
Romeo :
Wait Juliet... would you marry me?
Juliet :
I would!
Scene 4
Then, Romeo met the Franciscan to hold their
marriage
Romeo :
Father please help me! I want to marry Juliet, the Capulet’s daughter
Franciscan :
No, you can’t. She is a Capulet and you are a Montague
Romeo :
But I love her so much, father. I cannot live without her
Franciscan :
Ok, you can marry her tomorrow
Then, Romeo met the nurse and asked her to
inform Juliet about their marriage tomorrow
(Act: Romeo & Nurse)

The next morning they held the marriage.
(Act: Romeo & Juliet)
Scene 6
Tybalt :
Hey you Montague! How dare you are to come to our party?
Mercutiou :
It’s none of your business!!!
Tybalt :
What??? OK... LET’S FIGHT! We’ll show you that it’s our business!
(Tybalt and Mercutio were fighting) (Music)
Romeo :
Stop it! Stop it! Gentlemen please! (Tried to separate them)
Then, incidentally Mercutio was killed by
Tybalt and Romeo revenged it by killing Tybalt too.
Benvolio :
Go Romeo.... Go... They will find you!
Scene 7
Romeo decided to leave Verona because he
would be punished because of killing Tybalt but, before that he told it to
Juliet. (Music: A thousand years)
Romeo :
Oh my love, I have to leave Verona. Keep my love and wait for me!
Juliet :
No, I can’t. Don’t leave me alone my love. I can’t live without you! (Juliet’s
crying)
Romeo :
But, they will find me.
Juliet :
What have to be done? But, promise me you will be back
Romeo :
Yeah, I will be back for you my wife!
Scene 8
Suddenly, Juliet’s parents asked her to marry
another man, County Paris but Juliet didn’t want. So, she met the Franciscan to
help her.
Juliet : Father, help me! My
parents asked me to marry another man. I do not want! What should I do?
Franciscan : Take this for you, and it
will make you sleep for 42 hours as you die. And I will send Romeo a letter
about our plan and you will wake when Romeo comes to you and both of you can go
and start your new life.
After that, Juliet drank it and then she
slept as she died. And in another place, the Franciscan asked her man to send
Romeo the letter, but unfortunately he was late to send the news and Romeo did
not know the truth.
Scene 9
Benvolio heard about the Juliet’s death so he
directly told Romeo about that.
Romeo :
Oh my cousin!!! Happy to see you again!
Benvolio :
(keep silent)
Romeo :
What’s wrong with you my cousin?
Benvolio :
Juliet died Romeo!
Romeo :
What? (Romeo’s crying)
Scene 10
Finally, Romeo went back to Verona and took a
poison with him so they could die together.
(Song : Kiss of a Rose)
Romeo :
Oh my wife...! (Romeo’s crying). Nothing
can separate us even the death. I will follow you to the eternal
life and we can be together, forever (drink the poison)
Then, Juliet woke up and saw Romeo
Juliet :
Oh no!!! Romeo (Juliet’s crying).. It should not be like this
Please wake up Romeo, don’t leave me again! ROMEO..................!!!
Please wake up Romeo, don’t leave me again! ROMEO..................!!!
Finally, Juliet took Romeo’s sword and killed
herself. And finally they died together
(Juliet takes the sword and kills herself)
