ROMEO AND JULIET
By William Shakespeare
Adapted/Directed by Oh, Tae Suk, Mokhwa Repertory Company, Korea
TYBALT, the YOUNG CAPULETS and YOUNG MONTAGUES dance, signifying the rivalry between the two households.
YOUNG MONTAGUE He still sighs for Rosaline? MERCUTIO A bad dream you say? But dreams are as fickle as this flipping hand. O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you. Who dressed in her fine clothes, Gallops night by night, O'er the courtier's knees, that dream on curtsies straight, O'er ladies lips, who straight on kisses dream, O'er the scholar's forehead, that read on the letters - like this. ― ALL At the first hour the sky is born, Boundless and wide is the blue sky, "Ch'on," At the second hour the earth is born, Nurturing all things on the ground, "Chi," Mysterious and inscrutable is the colour black, Seven stars are in the northern sky, black, "Hyon." (Upstage, YOUNG LADIES covered with shawls pass by) MERCUTIO (after glancing at them) Rosaline! The girl that blinded you. ROMEO In faith. YOUNG LADIES In faith. (Exit YOUNG LADIES laughing.) MERCUTIO The sea is good when fish live in it. Let's dive in. ROMEO Let us go. . MERCUTIO Prepare a donkey. The young lord makes his way to the Capulet's. (Exeunt)
Feast at the Capulet's The NURSE and her ASSISTANT appear and perform a traditional blessing. LADY CAPULET signals for the feast to begin. A group of YOUNG LADIES appear and prepare a line of tables for the feast, then begin to dance, mingling with ROMEO, MERCUTIO and the YOUNG MONTAGUES. TYBALT and the YOUNG CAPULETS enter and perform a traditional drum dance. As they all dance together, ROMEO and JULIET see each other for the first time. TYBALT (finding young Montagues) How dare you men come here! (after a short brawl, the dance continues) ROMEO (looking at Juliet) Who is that? YOUNG MONTAGUE The only daughter of this house. ROMEO This is the first time I've seen her. I will cut the maidenhead of that girl tonight! YOUNG MONTAGUE Playboy! Your fickle heart changes as if blown by the mad wind. MERCUTIO And more inconstant than the wind who woos, Even now the frozen bosom of the North And being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
CAPULET Am I the master here, or you? You first must learn to treat guests with respect. YOUNG MONTAGUES Respect. TYBALT That villain was hitting on my cousin. CAPULET Go to! TYBALT Sir, I will withdraw. (Leaving, to ROMEO) See that you behave differently tonight. MERCUTIO We will feast. CAPULET Feast! Cheerly, my hearts! Dance! Till your toes are plagued with corns. (The dance continues and one of the dancers is pushed out of formation by another, who is Juliet) (As everybody dances, ROMEO chases JULIET while avoiding TYBALT. He catches her by surprise) (ROMEO kisses JULIET. She lets out a scream) ROMEO By your lips my sin is purged. JULIET Now my lips have taken your sin. YOUNG MONTAGUES : What did she say? YOUNG LADIES : She told that her lips took his sin. YOUNG MONTAGUE How do lips take sin? YOUNG LADY She said it to get kissed again. You try it, too. "By your lips my sin is purged."
ROMEO Give me my sin again. NURSE What noise is this? JULIET You kiss by the book! ALL By your lips my sin is purged. (The dance resumes, ROMEO chases after JULIET and the NURSE blocks his way) NURSE She's the daughter of this house. I nursed her. ROMEO O dear account! My life is my foe's debt. NURSE She sucked the wisdom from my teat!I nursed her! (The dance continues as the YOUNG LADIES exit.) NURSE Who is that gentleman? BENVOLIO The son of Montague. (The NURSE is shocked at this) (The YOUNG MONTAGUES pretend to leave and disguise themselves as a tree.) JULIET Come hither, Nurse. Go ask his name. If he be married, My grave is like to be my wedding bed. NURSE His name is Romeo, and a Montague. JULIET My only love sprung from my only hate, Too early seen unknown and known too late.
By any other word would smell as sweet So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called. Romeo doff thy name, And for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself. YOUNG MONTAGUES Answer her! Take her! ROMEO Take what? MERCUTIO I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized: Henceforth I never will be Romeo. ROMEO What? When did I lose my name? I should go. BENVOLIO Where are you going? ROMEO She never will be mine. MERCUTIO I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes, By her high forehead and her scarlet lip, By her fine foot, straight leg, and quivering thigh, And the demesnes that there adjacent lie. There! . YOUNG MONTAGUES There adjacent lie. There! YOUNG MONTAGUE Go on my son! (Exeunt YOUNG MONTAGUES and MERCUTIO.) JULIET By whose direction found'st thou out this place? . ROMEO By love... I lent him eyes.
JULIET Thou hast heard me speak tonight And therefore thou mayst think my behaviour light. If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. Or else, I'll frown, and be perverse and say thee nay And cry. Say thou dost love me, love me. . ROMEO Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow. JULIET O swear not by the moon, th'inconstant moon, (Pointing her finger at ROMEO'S chest.) Swear by thy gracious self, Which is the god of my idolatry, And I'll believe thee. ROMEO I love thee. JULIET Fool! Thou gave love before I did'st request it. Throw it back up. Thrust your finger in, throw mine back up. And yet I wish but for the thing I have. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite. NURSE (Voice) Madam! JULIET By and by, I come, anon! (To Romeo) Marry me! ROMEO What? JULIET We shall unite - until death do us apart. . ROMEO O Father, what has happened to me? Look! My cheeks are burnt bright. JULIET Tomorrow I will send the Nurse to thee. ROMEO What? I cannot hear. A hammer has smashed my head to pieces.
JULIET Hey! I have forgotten why I called thee back... (In Romeo's arms.) This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night. As sweet repose and rest Come to thy heart as that within my breast. NURSE (VO) Madam! Madam! JULIET(to Romeo) Good night. (Exeunt.)
Friar Laurence's Cell FRIAR LAURENCE enters following FRIAR JOHN. FRIAR LAURENCE picks up a poisonous plant. (FRIAR JOHN’s praying voice.) . FRIAR LAURENCE Within the infant rind of this weak flower Poison hath residence and medicine power: O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies In plants, herbs, stones and their true qualities Nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use, Revolts true birth, stumbling on abuse. Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, ROMEO And vice sometime by action- FRIAR LAURENCE Benedicite! ROMEO And vice sometime by action dignified. FRIAR LAURENCE What early tongue so sweet saluteth me? ROMEO Before breakfast? (ROMEO hands FRIAR LAURENCE an apple.) FRIAR LAURENCE Thou art uproused with some distemp'rature... Our Romeo hath not been in bed tonight.
FRIAR LAURENCE Stop, stop. I see. I see. (Taking the plant out of ROMEO'S grip.) In one respect I'll thy assistant be. ROMEO Thank you dear Father. Let this morning be blessed with grace. (Exit ROMEO.) FRIAR LAURENCE For this alliance may so happy prove, To turn your households' rancour to pure love. In the name of the Father, the son... (Exeunt.) A Street MERCUTIO and the YOUNG MONTAGUES enter shouting and see the NURSE in the distance. A group of YOUNG LADIES enter with winnowing baskets. YOUNG MONTAGUE A sail, a sail! ALL A sail! YOUNG MONTAGUE It's the Nurse. MERCUTIO A challenge, on my life. YOUNG MONTAGUE A challenge? MERCUTIO For Romeo. Tybalt, the kinsman to old Capulet, Hath sent a letter to his father's house.
All He's persistent. (The NURSE enters.) ALL Welcome. ALL (Singing) Dumplings in the Nurse's skirt, Sweet or Meat! Who will pay for the Nurse's dumplings? Meat or Stale! Oh yeah - Oh yeah- Nurse! NURSE Get away! What is this? YOUNG MONTAGUE A toll to pay. NURSE Gentlemen, where is Romeo? YOUNG MONTAGUE He did not come... NURSE (Throwing down her money bag.) I wish to speak with him. Where is he? MERCUTIO He's gone. Didn't Tybalt stab him to death and bury him on the mountain? ALL Ooooh. NURSE Do not slander Tybalt... Something red hit me just now. I wonder what it was. YOUNG MONTAGUES Look, look! A red kite! . NURSE Stop your babbling. Tybalt is an honest gentleman. Courteous and handsome. A real gentleman.
ROMEO Ring the bell! (Exit ROMEO and NURSE with rope ladder.) ALL (Singing) Would you go away, away now? Abandon me, abandon me? How shall I, how shall I live now? If you go, you go away. Oh yeah- Oh yeah- Go now! Dear love, please return to me. (The YOUNG LADIES exit while singing.) The Wedding . (FRIAR LAURENCE, ROMEO and JULIET enter. They begin the marriage ceremony.) FRIAR LAURENCE Say your prayers. .
ROMEO We praise the Lord with our bodies and souls. JULIET They are but beggars that can count their worth But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth. FRIAR LAURENCE It is done. Until death do you part. (FRIAR LAURENCE, ROMEO and JULIET exit quickly.) A Public Square
