ROMEO AND JULIET

(GROUP 2)
THE NEW BEGINNING
Narrator: The prince of Verona, Prince Escalus, along with Tybalt Capulet, moves
ahead together around the Kingdom, discussing important matters. Whilst, a
servant came forward and gave utterance to the prince about something has gone
not as planned. The prince hurriedly took off. Later, Tybalt saw Mercutio, upon
seeing him, a possibility woke him up, thinking if Mercutio is here, Then, Romeo
shall be here.

TYBALT: Well³, look who we have here?

MERCUTIO: Oh Lord, Have Mercy.

TYBALT: Why must? Not to mention, your boon companion is not here. Why is
that?

MERCUTIO: Boon companion, huh. You and your obsession with Romeo, how
maddening.

TYBALT: Oh please, my only reasoning to live is to bring Romeo to his end.

Now, I may ask, where must he be?

MERCUTIO: Well, I'm afraid I cannot tell you that, my friend.

TYBALT: Tsk, how bland. You are nothing but a mere sloth to Romeo, always
behind his shadow.
MERCUTIO: Oh, why must you attack me like that? Your quite existing is just
irksome. You, looking for Romeo, sort of a girl longing for the love of her life.

TYBALT: Mocking me like I an some blague. This is getting tiresome, tell me

where is Romeo or you thou shall face wrath. *gun appears*

MERCUTIO: Come over here then.

NARRATOR: Tybalt was about to trigger but Mercutio managed to grab his hand
and was about to break it however.

ROMEO: GENTLEMEN, THIS HAS TO HAUL UP! THE CHURCH IS JUST

IN THE DISTANCE!

NARRATOR: Stopping the two, another man came close.

PRINCE ESCALUS: What had happened here?

MERCUTIO: Oh nothing, your majesty, a simple rat just drew his gun and about
to destroy kingdom.

TYBALT: Oh please, those who mock me, includes you, thy shall know agony.

ROMEO: I may not know, what had happened, but you coming at my friend like
that is irritating.

NARRATOR: Tybalt, whose gun is still in his hand, triggered and about to hit
Romeo not when Mercutio grabbed Romeo's hand and made his way. Prince
Escalus, who was spectating this, was furious.
PRINCE ESCALUS: THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE BLOODSHED IN
FRONT OF A PRINCE MUST GO TO PRISON! NOW, I ASK YOU, TYBALT
CAPULET, TRIGGER THAT GUN ONCE, THEN YOU SHALL BE HEADING
TO PRISON.

NARRATOR: Said furiously at them. Prince Escalus calming his self down, turned
his head to Romeo.

PRINCE ESCALUS: A Montague, perhaps that was why Tybalt triggered. Must
this family feud go on? I don't understand but this is simply immature. Though
two families are noble, fighting like this cannot bring the kingdom up near to
powerful.

ROMEO: We sincerely apologize, you highness.

PRINCE ESCALUS: Oh you must be, it is utterly disrespectful. Fighting like mere
cats om the streets. Therefore, I conclude, you(pointing at Romeo), a Montague,
and you(pointing at Tybalt), a Capulet, shall not fight. This family feud is over, I
cannot dare to witness any other.

NARRATOR: Prince Escalus stating like a true prince, ending a fight between two
families, leaving the two speechless. However, is this really it? Is it really over?
Well, it's just the beginning. Let us prepare ourselves, story goes on.

TYBALT: That man over there looks familiar…

Realization hits*

TYBALT: I knew it! its Romeo a Montague feature, I will not endure him!

*Romeo noticed Tybalt going after him

ROMEO: seems like Tybalt’s up to something, Benvolio, Mercutio you can

disguise yourself better without me being with your side, I have to go see you guys
later at least… if you won’t get caught! HAHA!

BENVOLIO: Come on, you got to be kidding…

MERCUTIO: Really? at this situation you still joke around
BENVOLIO: Anyway, you should go now before Tybalt caughts you…

NARRATOR: Meanwhile Lord Capulet chased after Tybalt and said

LORD CAPULET: You have to stop whatever you're planning, you can't make a
scene here besides I doubt Romeo would make a scene because he has a good
manner, resist yourself remember what Prince Escalus said

*Tybalt was then convinced

TYBALT: Fine! only for now, Romeo will someday meet his tragic demise on my
own hand.

NARRATOR: While Romeo is trying to disguise himself he accidentally bumped

into someone!

*Romeo helped the girl

ROMEO: mi lady? Are you okay?

NARRATOR: The girl is facing down because her mask fell down

someone suddenly interfered!

NANNY: come here Juliet, you cannot entertain someone who don’t even belong
here.
NARRATOR: Nanny then turned to Romeo and warned him about their
relationship

NANNY: You can't be together, Juliet is a Capulet! You shall stop whatever
you're feeling towards her!
*Romeo was then left alone

(At the Balcony) JULIET: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny
thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And
I'll no longer be a Capulet.

ROMEO: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a
Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any
other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that
which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would,
were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without
that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take
all myself.

ROMEO: I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

NARRATOR: After the confession they suddenly exchange each other’s letter time
to time, day by day as passes by, until Romeo finally ask Juliet to marry him

age they married secretly since they know that each other’s family wouldn’t allow.

arrived and stopped them, Romeo apologized to Tybalt for his friends actions
towards him, then suddenly a miracle happened things worked out and Tybalt
left.

*Friar Laurence and Romeo enters

FRIAR LAURENCE: So smile the heavens upon this holy act That after-hours
with sorrow chide us not.

ROMEO: Amen, amen. But come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the
exchange of joy That one short minute gives me in her sight. Do thou but close
our hands with holy words, Then love-devouring death do what he dare, It is
enough I may but call her mine.

FRIAR LAWRENCE: These violent delights have violent ends And in their
triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest
honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the
appetite. Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so. Too swift arrives as tardy
as too slow.

*Juliet enters and walked slowly

Juliet’s and Romeo’s vow: “ With this hand I will lift your sorrows, Your cup will
never empty for I will be your wine, With this candle I will light your way in
darkness, With this ring I ask you to be mine”.

NANNY: Congratulations milady { as she hugs Juliet }.

Benvolio: As much as Romeo wanted to but I guess it’s not your day since Romeo
is not around he must have gone early…
MERCUTIO: You must be disappointed since you’ve travel quite a long way also,
you must want to rest how about you continue your way to afterlife? HAHA!

TYBALT: How dare you insult me who do you think you are? you’re nothing but
a piece of paper HAHA!

BENVOLIO: Enough! you two are such an immature creatures!

TYBALT: Then how about you go first to the afterlife Mercutio? { points the gun}

NARRATOR: While Tybalt’s pointing the gun at Mercutio someone suddenly

interfere…

ROMEO: Mind if you lower done your weapons?

TYBALT: Finally, here you are at least I wouldn’t waste my bullet for some useless
creature HAHA!
:
ROMEO Do you mind also if you watch what you’re saying, it’s kind of
disrespecting us when you’re at our property.

BENVOLIO: You may just leave Tybalt before any serious accident may happen,
we thank you for putting an effort on visiting us...

ROMEO: Don’t mind them Tybalt I sincerely apologize on my behalf of the

actions of my friends towards you, now as go along shall I say see you next time!
